Whenever I drive for a bit, sometimes after gettin on it, or after I stop a stop sign or a light I get burnt oil smell coming from my vents. I have no clue where it's coming from? But after a bit it goes away usually only smell it once after a couple min of first driving it. Anyone have any ideas? my mods are u/d pullies, T/A, and cai. Gettin kinda freaked about it. Any help would be appreciated.

I had a problem like this in my 91 GT, the breather on the oil cap was spraying oil under hard acceleration, hitting the headers and burning off. I changed the breather and fixed the problem. I would say mabye you have a similar problem with some oil leaking from somewhere, but I'm not really sure. Good luck

Oil is probably getting on the exhaust manifolds and the fumes are being sucked into the cowl. Valve cover gaskets maybe?
