Burning oil smell with hard driving
Hey fellas. I have owned a boxster, C4C and a 911 turbo and noticed with hard driving in all the cars, I can smell some burning oil; never any leaks; is this normal or do I have a sensitive nose?

Peace

This is an indication that you are driving a Porsche. All of mine have always had that smell...It is normal in most cases.

Mine smells antifreeze, never oil.
You sure you don't smell the clutch?
