Lately, I smeel oil inside the car. This morning I found oil all over the garage under the car. I can find where is coming from. Apparently, I need an alligator jack to lift the car and find out. Any ideas?

If you smell burnt oil, chances are the leak is on the top of the engine. Degrease the engine with a good cleaner and drive it. After about 10 miles check to see if you can see where it is coming from. Chances are it is either a valve cover or intake leak.

Let me know what you find.
