Weak top end with nasty engine smell
Does anyone know what could cause engine-oil smell upon hard acceleration? It starts doing appearing at 80-100mph and higher when the revs go past 4k. I took it to Mercedes and there is no way for the to verify it. Replaced the spacers, IC, got the engine checked out and all the hoses by MB and they said everything was good.

Not an AMG :(
See if your recirculating covers have bad seals / gaskets (they're on the valve cover).
Pull off the air boxes and look at the cover. In addition, look at the exhaust manifolds to see any oil has been dripping on them.

leaky intercooler wouldnt cause a engine burning smell. i have a leaky intercooler and all it does is burn coolant not oil.
Check the passager side, its the side that usually starts leaking first. you might just need to retighten the torx screws. They get loose with age and start leaking oil.
