I had my oil changed 3 weeks ago and smelled burning oil, so i took it back to jiffy lube, they said there was a slight leak under where the oil filter was and they tightened it. I then noticed oil was leaking from the fill cap so i replaced it. i still smell oil after the car runs awhile but not as strong and there is slight oil around the fill cap. any ideas
