Burn oil smell
As anyone experienced a strong oil burned smell. This happens every time the car has been driven hard, so it is kind of often. When I park I get a whiff of burned oil as soon as I get out of the car. However is not coming from the engine, at least the smell is not coming from the engine when I open the hood. It seems to be coming from the center rear of the car. Any ideas. Oh yes it is a 2010 with 49K miles. Thanks

LOL, sorry couldn't resist.

Sounds like the cats are cooking hot. Try a cool down before you park it.

Nothing on garage floor and can't really tell if anything is leaking to the exhaust. I guess will need to take to the dealer and have it checked out. One more thing, the check engine light just came on. Not sure if related.
