If it’s not one thing, it’s another it seems with these cars. Just got done replacing the DRL bulbs and installing a new hood strut on my car on Saturday and then Sunday morning I notice a burning oil smell after a little bit of driving. Pop the hood and notice some smoke wafting up from around the front driver’s side, kind of near the oil filler cap and what not. Sadly it’s about 10 degrees outside right now, so I’m not super excited about trying to troubleshoot this…
Are valve cover leaks common on the S4’s 4.2L? Would it just be the outsides of the cover or do they leak in the ignition coil seals area too?
