My Honda Accord smells like burning oil for about 500 miles after an oil change. The smell seems to come from the vents and also from outside when I roll the window down. After about 500 miles the smell goes away, however my oil level is down about a quart. I have never had trouble with my car burning oil. The engine is very clean. I figured there was a leak somewhere but I have never found any oil under my car, not even a drop. Where is my oil going? Is it possible it is leaking out of the valve cover onto the exaust underneath and burning up? Appreciate you time! Thankyou
