I recently bought a Mazda B4000 with 60,000 miles. I have a burning oil smell after the engine gets hot.?
After the cars sits overnight or for a few hours the smell re-occurs after it heats up fully. The smell will go away after that, not to come back untl the next time the above situation occurs. Any help in what to look for we be great, Thanks, Glenn
Burning oil will not only smell....bu should be visible. Chances are valve cover bolts worked loose, and oil is seeping on manifold. Had that problem on 94 Chrysler Concorde, when first bought it. It turns out that over half the bolts were loose to the point that I could turn them with my fingers. I tightened them, and that solved the problem. Try that before starting to change gaskets etc.
