pls help: engine producing unpleasant smelling smoke
hello...
i was driving to school today, about a 20 mins drive.
the car's generating an unpleasant smoke with a burning odor from
the engine. the smoke is coming out of the manifold, fuel rail and valve cover.
i just had the engine oil changed three days ago by a professional.
what could possible cause this problem?
thanks

Get a closer look for the source. It could be leaking somewhere, so keep an eye on your oil level so it doesn't go empty.
But it might be something simple. Last week I changed oil on the '98 Accord and I managed to spill some oil on the flex joint of the exhaust. It still stinks.
