I've noticed over the last week or so that my car has a burning oil smell, I haven't noticed any visible leaks where I park. `The last time the oil was changed was probably a month or two ago and I have added maybe a quart since then, the car has been driven a little more than usual lately.

Hi there mis-t

Get the engine checked for a small oil leak that may be dripping directly onto the exhaust, this will give you this oily smell with out any real evidence of a leak under the car, start here.
