My engine vibrates every time I excel. I lifted the hood and smelled something burning but can't determine the oil that is burning. Plus can not find any leaks anywhere. I thought it could be the motor mounts making the vibration, but haven't checked them yet. Pretty concerned about the burning smell. Is there anything I can check?

Chances are you do have a small oil leak from a valve cover gasket or intake gasket that is getting on the exhaust. Double check that. As far as the vibration, does it feel like the engine is missing? Has the check engine light come on?
Let me know.
