Hey,
i noticed lately that my 2000 TL with only 48000 miles on it was starting to smell like burning oil once in a while. I checked the oil and it was very low. Would anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks

 

well.......did you recently get an oil change? can you open the hood, make sure the oil cap is tight, look under the car and see if the drain bolt is tight and not leaking, see if the oil filter is tight and not leaking. if all that is out of play, well, look around the engine for oil? your still under warranty, go to acura.

 

It all depends on wether or not your leaking oil or if the engine itself is burning it. And also like RickRoush said check his coments and suggestions

 

If you can smell burning oil, the chance is that the oil has dripped onto the exhaust manifold and got burnt off giving the smell. Open the hood and check around to see if there is any trace of oil on the engine block near all gasket seals. If you can, also check the oil pan gasket seal. If your engine is really burning oil, you won't be able to smell it, but you can see blue smoke whenever you step on the gas.

 

ya i can see some oil around the engine block

 

ya i can see some oil around the engine block, i will be taking it to acura, just wondering what the problem could be for a car with such low miles.

 

Where is it coming from?

 

If it happens, it happens !! My left front shocks started to leak at around 60K Km, whereas everybody else's are still running strong at twice my mileage.
