burnig oil smell, and a little bit of smoke comming from where you add the oil. normal?
This mornig while driving to work, (less the a mile)I noticed oil burning smell, driving under boost, but ignored it, when I got out of work, same thing so I popped the hood and I noticed some smoke comming from the oil cap, so I opened and it was a strong burnt smell. A little later I drove hard, and stoped to check and there was no smoke. Should I be worried?

From inside the oil cap, or from around that area?
Sounds like the lovely valve cover/tensioner seal issue is leaking oil onto the hot exhaust.
Check the link in my sig for when I did mine.
