01 S2k Burnt Oil Smell From Back of Car
Hello,
Just about a week ago I noticed my s2000 started to smell like burnt oil. I checked under the hood and there was no smell from there. I walked to the back of the car and it smelled a lot like burnt oil near the wheels.
What could this possibly be? The car doesn't rub so I can't be burnt rubber I dont think. The brakes have plenty life left.
Any suggestions or opinions?
Thanks!

IME, burnt oil smells a lot different than burnt brake pads. How is your engine oil consumption?
Maybe, it's a bearing seal leak?
