Engine 2

MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE LEAKING ENGINE OIL ONTO THE EXHAUST. WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 5-10 MINUTES, THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL IS OVERWHELMING WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST 12 MOS., AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE POTENTIAL FOR AN ENGINE BAY FIRE, NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF INHALING THE FUMES FROM BURNING OIL EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR.
