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?

Andy...

Don't panic Andy....it is only the fumes from the breathers you can smell...mine does the same but i have run mine into the inner wheel arch liners because i didn't have enough hose at the time ;)
Sorry i can't help you with the turbo conversion saturday......it's my turn to work and i have a scooby amoungst others to 'cough cough' MOT ;)
