Went for a drive this evening - car seems like it runs better every time I take it out! On the way home I really hammered a very long sweeping right hand turn -- probably held a steady 65 mph or so around this long curve -- all of a sudden , I smell oil burning !! Temp was fine , saw just a little puff of smoke -- pulled over after another mile or so as soon as I could get off the road. The drivers side engine shelf had oil all over it -- couldn't really tell where it came from. There wasn't any sign of anything leaking. My car has a hose that connects above the valve cover on either side , Ts together and goes in the breather -- like a crankcase breather. It also has a little round filter element by the oil filler. I can't figure where this oil came from -- but looking at it -- it seems the crankcase vent system is not right. Any ideas ??? Anybody had this happen ??
