Does the engine burn excessive amounts of oil? That may be the cause of the smell

SOURCE: clicking/knocking sound and feel when shifting & smell

first check the clutch hydrolic fluid. If it's low or leaking, it may not disengage the clutch completely causing the disk to drag (and smell) The knocking sounds like you're loosing the thowout bearing and/or possibly the disk (there are cushion springs that may have come out of place). Take it to a transmission shop that does free diagnosis. anything other than fluid-related is going to be pricey.

2012 sonata burning oil- just had oil change and have to add oil- no visible signs of leak

If the oil loss started after oil change check to see if your oil filter is not all the way tight. My oil light came on a couple months ago about a month after oil change. I reached under my truck and could turn the oil filter by hand. Just something to check. Make sure the oil filter is tight and drain plug is not wet may leak at drain plug. Those are the cheep fixes.

Their must be some oil stored somewhere and it is dripping on your exhaust manifold,but never pressure wash your engine, could cause worse problems,in time the smell will go away,just be patient.It will burn off in time.

Check oil with dipstick. Add oil if needed and bring vehicle back to where you got oil changed. Or bring vehicle to nearest service shop, but make sure to check oil level first. This sounds like a mistake was made during last oil change.

My car smells really strong of gasoline when I start my ford escape?

You may have a leaky injector or fuel filter. If it comes stronger when you just start your car, it could be because the injector is leaking overnight and builds up on the engine, which is then promptly burned and brought in through the air vents.

I can smell burning oil smell inside my car sometimes when i turn the heat on.and the engine light also came on couple of days after. i jus changed the oil and filters 3 weeks ago. can someone please

depending on the type of car, you might have oil leaking directly onto the exhaust system, which is dangerous as it could possibly ignite. I would take it back to the oil change place and have them double check the oil filter to make sure the seal isn't leaking. AutoZone or Advance Auto can hook a mini scan tool to the car and tell you why the light is on.

It's probably OK to drive. I imagine they failed to get the oil filter properly seated and you're getting a little leak there. DO BE SURE to check the oil level before you drive it and add if necessary.
