Oil Burn Smell??

After highway cruise, I smell oil burn, in city driving there is no smell, I already replaced valve cover gasket and there is no leaks around there, could it be oil pan gasket leak?

could be your filter leaking down onto your exahust. it's kinda hard to say, you first have to identify where it's coming from... I mean, all we know, it could be your thighs rubbing together.

if he smells it on the hwy, it's prolly in the engine compartment, being forced up into the cowel.

lol.. who gives a ****, this thread is pointless. Finding a leak isn't something that can be taught over the internet, all it takes is a flashlight, a jack and jack stands.

It can only be leaking for a handful of places on a honda, check them all
