Whenever I drive my car for a while, it always smells like burnt oil in the cabin. It seems worse when I run errands and have to make short trips and turn off the car multiple times. I'm not sure if its because of a minor oil pan leak that I'm aware of. The car is at 106k and I've done the OFHG, Valve Cover and VCG in the past 5k miles due to an oil leak. Can the oil pan leak cause burning oil smell in the cabin?
