burning oil smell
 

hi guys

i have a my06 wrx with 92000k miles. notice a whiff of burning oil smell coming from my exhaust. doesnt matter if i push it hard or drive it normal. when i come to a stop i can get a whiff from the exhaust. car got turbo seal leak before and already fixed a brand new turbo,everything is good (oil level ...） but still coming that happen。 what you guys think? thanks

oil landing on the headers, likely the cam cover seals.

cv boot split

If the turbo was recent it would more than likely be oil collected in your header covers, it can smoke and stink for a week or more. mine used to pour out of the bonnet scoop when I'd pull up, got some funny looks haha.

?????

I dunno

most likely causes are leaking rocker cover gasket or split CV boot

could be anything really just take it to someone to have a look at it

Ok, I'll spell it out for you, if you are running standard headers they will have covers on them similar to the ones in the photo, if your turbo was leaking oil or when it was removed it may have dripped/collected oil in these covers and when it gets hot it starts to smoke/burn, I've had it happen a couple of times.
