Ive had this car for months now and this just started happening. The motor smells like its burning oil however it doesn't smoke and the oil level rarely changes. Its a stock d16y7 with 119k on it. Only mods is an intake and full 2in exhaust, headers, test pipe (no cat).. I have no CEL's ever and a very slight almost unnoticed tap when its super cold and first started. Oil was last changed maybe 800 miles ago and looks like.. well.. used oil. Any clue whats going on here cuz im stumped. I read it could be cuz im running a test pipe but idk.. the exhaust has been on for about 3mos now and this all started about a month ago.

Any part of your engine leaking oil? You could be smelling it from under the hood.

Bad PCV valve? EVAP all hooked up right?
