I just had my A/C recharged and everything repaired.

My car is rough idle, hesitating and shaking, smell of burning oil. I pulled over on Friday after work and noticed wet oil on the end of my headers were it was burning from. I check oil level and it was fine. I was really worried this Saturday morning. Started car, turned on A/C small cloud of burned oil came right in my face from front vent.

Turned off car and still have not drove it.
What could this be? Head gasket? PVC Valve?

Car is running 11pds of boost with jackson racing supercharger, running 93 octane, never had problem till I hired a mobile crew to fix my A/C.

Hi shopusedparts,

You need to verify where the oil is coming from. It might be the valve cover gaskets or could it be something left behind when repairing the AC?

As to the burnt oil from AC vent, if you use the fresh air mode, it can get in via the duct.
