    Alright I have a couple questions I am hoping you guys can help me out with. I replaced my oil pan gasket a while back because it looked as though it was leaking. I noticed the other day that I was leaving oil spots on my drive way so I took the car to work and picked it up. It looks like the oil pan is leaking again. I did the oil pan again and the oil spots didn't go away. I started to do some more research and I believe my oil filter housing gasket is leaking and oil is running down the front of my engine. I ordered new gaskets for the housing and intake and I plan to attack that in the upcoming weeks. This leads me to my big question. Lately when I come to a stop at a light I smell burning oil, I even get a little bit of smoke. I cant tell if me running the heater has anything to do with it or not. I have inspected my valve covers and they don't seem to be leaking, maybe a small seep but nothing alarming. I can see where oil has been running out the drain holes on the front of the engine(will upload picture shortly). Have any of you guys had this issue?
