A couple issues I may have to get looked at - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

1) I smell hot/burned oil after I drive the car. I can understand the first few drives this could be normal, but the car now has almost 600 miles on it and shouldnt still have leftovers on the engine. I dont see any leaks, and the dip stick level seems fine.

2) I sometimes hear a rattle that sounds like it comes from inside the headliner right up near the windshield. I'm not sure if there is a wire harness up there or what else might be rattling.

I had a similar burning smell and traced it down to a huge part sticker on the left exhaust pipe just behind the clamp connection to the cat/res pipe. Once it burned off, all is well.... WTF?

I hear the same rattle, did you get this fixed?
