I have a burning smell coming from the engine, I see no leaks, no drips, no nothing. What should I do? Any info can anyone suggest?

H23 engine? maybe something getting dripped onto ur exhaust and burning up.

my 93 Si smells like burnt oil or something burnt after i park it or sometimes when standing in traffic. my oil only leaks through the bolt on the pan and i think through the gasket too, but im not sure.

i dont know what is burning. i've tried to find a leak but havent been able too. only sign that something is amiss is that my exhaust, where the 2 pipes from the header meet, seems like it has something encrusted on it (burnt oil maybe?), but i dont know where that could have dripped from.

All right, I had the same problem you did... but you may have something different. See the problem for me was that I had to change my gasket. It's like 12 bucks and it should do the thing. When I had this problem, sometimes there would be smoke but whenever i stopped driving I would always get that smell. The problem was that there was a little cut in my gasket, and oil would drip down and hit my exhaust, causing the burn smell. Hope this is the case for your problem.

Yeah, my H23 leaked oil, and drank it. That i, until the #4 Connecting rod broke

I'm referring to the valve gasket.
