2002 Base with 120K. Couple months back starting to smell burnt oil while driving. It was very faint and never any drops on floor. Now when I get to work after 30 minute commute there is a much stronger smell and some oil smoke wafting out from under the right side. Burning off the exhaust system. I see some light oil moisture around valve covers but no obvious leak. Still no puddles anywhere. Any tips or ideas on where it is coming from?
