when ever i drive my subaru i can always smell oil after i have given it some. Is this normal does any one else get it.

 

nope far from normal

 

any ideas. there are no leaks or anything. drives fine

 

The exhaust manifold runs under the front of the engine so a couple of things to check are:

1. The oil filter is loose or leaking and dripping on the exhaust.
2. The rocker/cam cover gasket on one bank is leaking.

 

if its just when your giving it some chances are its pushing a small amount of oil out of the rocker gasket and its driping on to the heat sheild or manifold

 

mines the same, it will probably be a cover thats seeping alot of peoples cars have this problem i have had it for about 40k miles always replaceing the seals but it still seeps out

 

oil filter is fine. exhaust is fine should i not really worry about it then.

 

have a look at the rocker cover see if theres any signs around the bottom and just keep an eye on your oil level
