Cam breather...?
recently I modified the breathers so that they vent to atmosphere (down by the front suspension arms).
on sunday I wrapped and sprayed my downpipe, removed the undertray and the turbo heatshield (in readiness for a td05 switch on saturday ).
since removing the tray and shield I have noticed a bit of a whiff down by the drivers door, newly wrapped downpipe (which has had a sweet smell).
just yesterday the smell has had the faintest hint of burning oil (I think).
could it be from the cam breather (o/side) and simply I notice it more because the undertray is off?
could it be something more sinister?

Who'd have thought keeping the car standard would have been such a lost cause!
