A few days ago I started to notice a strong odor of oil coming from my car. This smell is only noticable when the car is idle, i.e. at a stop light, stop sign etc.... I am due for an oil change but I have never noticed a smell of burning oil type before in any car I have ever had like this. My question is what might be causing this smell?? Thank you for your time.
