    Mitsubishi Pajero 2005: Why can I smell burning oil?

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Pajero Mitsubishi Pajero Advice Mitsubishi Pajero 2005
    There’s a burning oil smell from my 2005 3.8-litre Mitsubishi Pajero. I can't see any leaks, or any drips on exhaust. Any ideas?

    The Mitsubishi engine is generally sound and doesn’t normally use excessive oil. If and when they do it’s usually found to be worn valve stem seals, and it that’s the case you won’t find and leaks or see any sign on the tailpipe.
