Think we might have a problem

Well I have noticed that when I pull the truck into the garage after my drive home from work (which is all highway at about 80 for 15miles) the smell of somthing burnning under the hood. I have checked for leaks and nothing. Smells like oil today after getting to work I smelt it go and on the drive to work I got on it but opened the hood and it was smoking around the oil seperater area. I dont have one but in that location. If anyone has any info thanks for the help.

mine does it too. you need an oil separator since our PCV system tends to pull oil vapors into the intake system.

Maybe you have a small oil seepage from the valve cover gasket at the rear.
