Oil leak and burning smell

Post by H4MP » Fri Feb 26, 2021 5:12 pm

I have a small oil leak and get a burning smell when either pressing on or driving up hill. It comes through the heater vents.
It tends to happen a lot more when I am driving up hill. I have been to a few garages they keep asking me to get the engine steam or jet washed as
its difficult to see where its coming from. Not sure where I can get the engine washed top to bottom. Any ideas guys what it could be?

The car is a 2009 35d
