It tends to do this every now and then, not all the time. Only happens when i am warming my car up or at a drive thru. I just started to do this about 2 months ago and its happend at least 10 times in that period of time. Any ideas???? I always maintain my car like its supposed to..

 

Damn, that's a beautiful B5. Very nice!

As to the burning oil smell, it could be that the crankcase breather system is plugged up and is causing pressure to build up in the crankcase, forcing oil out the path of least resistance....the gaskets. Probably the valve cover gaskets and the cam chain tensioner seals.

The oil drips onto the manifold, giving the burning oil smell as soon as the engine reaches operating temp, and then as you're sitting stationary. That's exactly the behavior my car was exhibiting. When the engine was cold, I didn't smell the oil. Even after reaching operating temp, I could smell the burning oil only when stationary.

Of course, it may be something else. Can you take a look and see where the oil is dripping down?

Well see heres the weird thing, Its not leaking anywhere, Ive look all over under the car and it never drips. You can just smell it and sometimes see small amounts of blue smoke come out of the exhaust. Thank you by the way!

 

Use UV additive in your oil, and keep checking on it with a black light. The leak will glow. I recommend cleaning your engine compartment with something like Engine Brite before you do this so that it will be the easiest to spot.
