burning smell through vents (oil?)

recently when i do hard accelerations in my TL i smell something burning (smells like burning oil) after for about 15-30 seconds. this gets worst if my AC is on. i haven't really noticed a drop in my oil cause i don't do this often. i use dealer's conventional oil and i was thinking maybe my engine is burning oil? what could the smell be?

how often are you checking the oil level? should be full when cold
replaced the cabin air filter? and ckd the blower fan wiring and resisitor

leaking valve cover gasket onto header as fire said,,can result in fire too!

does it do it with the ac OFF?

do some visual inspection and report back,,or move your modem closer to the car please~
