[27litres]

Hi guys.

Been tolerating this for a little while, as it's not often I'm in busy traffic these days...

The smell is almost certainly from under the bonnet and feeding into the cabin via the central air intake (I've seen better fresh air intakes in cars to be sure).

I already replaced the exhaust cam seal caps on the back of the heads about 18 months ago. I had fitment issues with them which may or may not have been caused by using RTV silicone when mounting them.
Also replaced the valve cover gaskets around the same time.
Smell was still there under the right circumstances.

So anyway, today I finally got around to changing the PCV valve (hockey puck).
I also changed the left hand cam cap again with a genuine one. However, it was in tight and not leaking. So I checked the right hand one, which was also not leaking, and left it alone.
Also checked around the valve covers. Some minor weeping around the top rear right cover (under the fuel hoses). Checked bolts which were all tight. No leaks on the left at all.

Basically there are now no leaks that would drip onto the exhaust anywhere at the top of the engine.
She's due for a visit to the hoist (ramp) soon, so I'll check for leaks below while she's up.

Is there anything I've missed?

I'm taking a peak hour drive out to the airport tomorrow (my Mum is actually on her way to London to go to her sister's funeral), so I'll give the new PCV a work out and see if the oil burning smell is still there...
