HELP!! Burning Oil Smell!
I have noticed over the past week or two that immediately after shutting down my L I can smell burning oil coming from under the hood. It seems to be getting worse, although I do not see smoke and I have not been able to find anything that looks like an oil leak around the manifolds, although maybe I am just not able to see it.
Have any of you guys experienced this problem?
I was getting ready to install a 4 pounder, but looks like I better wait until I get this issue resolved before doing so...
Any help you guys can give will be greatly appreciated!

I have a similar problem that I can't put my finger on....Whenever I park the truck, I get a burning rubber smell that I can't seem to trace...Nothing on the exhaust, nothing visible under the hood, and the belts are not excessively hot when I shut the engine down and check them...Aggravating isn't it....As far as your problem goes, jack up the truck and look all over the back of the engine for any leaking oil, and see what you can find....Good luck..

Ya I plan on getting up under the truck this weekend and trying to find the source.... when I first noticed the truck started smelling different I thought at first it smell kinda like burning rubber, but after a couple of days it definately started smelling like burning oil. And last night and this morning the smell was noticably stronger and definately oil.
Man, this really SUCKS.....

I smell a "burned oil" odor after shut-down too. It was worse when I had 'breathers' on the cam-covers as oil was being forced out of the breathers onto the exhaust manifolds. I went back to 'stock', except for an oil breather cap and an oil seperator. I still smell it but I'm not concerned as it uses/loses almost no(some shows up in the seperator) oil.
Hopefully, neither of us have a leaking head gasket???
