Burning Smell Returns

Are you sure nothing is leaking? Where you park normally, is there any fluid on the ground? I'd take the underpanel off and look around to locate anything unusual.

No puddles or drips on the ground. I've also inspected inside the engine bay with a flashlight and don't see anything leaking or pooling on the plastic underbody.

Yah, I posted somewhere that when I topped off the oil it started smelling again.
I'm going to keep the oil level around 3/4 mark between the dots on the dipstick from now on. At that level no smell.
