After some hard runs, like hitting redline for 5-6 times, the engine has some oil burning smell, I check under the car but there is no oil leakage, anyone know what may be the problem?

 

normal

 

I noticed this for a while now but I think it wasn't there before.....

 

as the mileage on a motor increases, seals and rings get more worn...

its normal that you din't notice it b4 and do now

 

so I assume nothing I need to do right now except to keep an eye on it?

 

yes...just check your oil @ regular intervals to make to make sure you're not burning excessive amounts and keep your engine bay CLEAN so that leaks are easily spotted

 

just don't be like tran and develop a rather abnormal oil leak around the cylinder wall area

ah, but i figured you'd mentioned the huge clouds of smoke my tranny produced

as for the original post, my R with 63k miles makes pleasant burnt oil odors all the time. of course i use a quart every 500 miles, but hey at least when i top it off i always know my oil is fresh!
