the car is my 99 uk turbo which i have owned for about 8 months now. the thing is for all the time ive had it i get like a burning oil smell or something similar when the engine is hot. its just one of them things i just forget about as the car runs fine with no smoke or anything. i am noticing it more now the nice weather is here and i pull up at lights with window. just wondering if this is normal or maybe some underlying problem. cheers leon

Bet it's the rocker gasket cover mate. Mines been replaced twice and just had the seals re done last week.

Not too expensive to sort neither. Last bill @ Jap Innovations was £60.00 or something.

would that be covered on warranty? how would i know if its that and would it affect power or anything if it is that? cheers mate

had the same problem on mine look straight down past rocker cover on drivers side,the oil usually drips onto heatshield and burns off hence the smell.won't affect power but keep an eye on your oil level till its sorted.
