My car has an oil leak somewhere towards the back of the engine (I guess technically the right side of the engine, since it is sideways). It drips down onto the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter area and burns and smells absolutely terrible. It also smokes under the hood and is especially noticeable at stoplights. I know its oil and not coolant because the smoke has a blue tint and I am not losing coolant. My coolant bypass valve is also fine.
My first thought was valve cover gasket but it seems too severe to be so. Also, the air blows the smell, smoke, and these fumes into the cabin. Its aweful.
What else could be leaking onto the exhaust and burning so bad?
