No, as i said before this is the second oil change. bought the car, drove 7000 miles, changed the oil, and drove up until now, 13K miles added since i bought it, and changed the oil again....seems to be on par. ill check hte engine for oil, seafoam, and report back.

sounds like a valve cover gasket if you can smell burning

 

When i changed the oil i did notice some oil outside the engine, but i dont know exactly where so bear with me. there is what appears to be oil on the back, bottomhalf of the engine. while lying under the car with your feet toward the headlights its on the passenger side almost where the engine and transmission meet. Im doing this from memory, but it was further back than the motor mounts, and most of the oil is on something that looks like a george foreman grill cook top. ive never noticed oil pooled under the car tho. anyone know what it is or where the leak could come from??

cam tensioner gasket maybe? they are known to last 40-60k on b6s

 

Yeah the cam seal, and valve cover gasket combo. Do both at the same time. The cam seal only costs like $5 at www.ecstuning.com its putting it in that sucks.
