All that stuff should be done at each timing belt change. Much easier then than now.

That wasn't directed at you, just sort of a general PSA.

Default I'm having the same problem....except.....

I just had my TB replaced along with VC Gaskets, Cam Seals, Plugs, etc., etc.

I really hope for me it's just residual oil burning off from the work.

I'll be pretty pissed if my mechanic made the situation worse. Before the TB change the smell was intermittent. Now I smell it every time I stop at a light or am staning in traffic.

Grrrr.
