Burning smell of oil 04 182



  Clio 172 Cup
Hi guys just had my Clio 182 an oil and filter change along with a few minor jobs done. Since having it back keep getting a reoccurring oil smell through the vents car is running absolutely perfect and no warning lights. Run for a bit now thinking it may have been unspent oil somewhere but it smells like an A reg metro !!!

Car is completely standard no mods full history completely unabused

Any ideas guys ???

Thanks

Mark

might be just spilled oil burning off.. check all the engine.it shouldnt be that if its been a few weeks,take it back to who did it the oil change.

Had a good look around cant see anything not mechanical minded tho to know any probs!!!

Take it back to where ever did the work.
I would suggest the filter O ring is not correctly seated and oil is leaking out & is blowing back across the sump & burning off on the exhaust.
