2008 C63 Estate
Exclamation Anyone got any oil burning smell?

Hey guys,
I'm new here and i drive a 08' C63 Estate.
This car is daily driven so i took extra care of it and the masterpiece of AMG6.3 i just love it so much.

I used to get the smell of engine oil burns before I managed to change the valve gasket which caused the leakage and dropped to the header.

However i'm still getting the smell whenever i hit the gas to the floor and my wife hates it so much.

Just wondering anyone else has the same problem?

Cheers!

My car sometimes gives off a slight oil smell inside the cabin after going WOT. It has no leaks nor does it use any oil so I haven't worried about it much.

I have posted several times with complaints of that smell. It is definitely coming in from the trunk of my car. I switched the rubber housing of the rear lights. I switched the pressure release membranes in the area above of the rear tires to no avail. Next up is the trunk rubber seal. I replaced the rear exhaust as well. If no go then the rear light plastics. 100 percent in my case it is from the trunk!

I had this last October...leaked oil from valve cover onto the manifold. Simple enough DIY to fix
