Smells problem
1995 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My car is not leaking or smoking but I smell oil when I drive it. Do you know what it could be from?

Could be a valve cover gasket leaking and burning off the engine block or an oil dipstick not sit properly

Also check the distributor "O" ring. If it is leaking, you will see oil seeping down the side of the head underneath the distributor. Very common in Toyota's, especially older ones.
