I've noticed when I stop and shut off my car I get an oil burning smell and some light oil smoke coming from the rear drivers wheel well. It only lasts for maybe 60 seconds. It's a 2001 with 6000 miles. There is never any oil on the floor so it's not a big leak but obviously some oil is getting out of the motor. Anyone have experience with this?
