smoke
I was on my way home today and stopped at a red light and all of a sudden i could smell burnt oil and saw smoke behind me with no other cars around. When i left the light no smoke was coming out the exhaust or under the hood. I have been home for a few hours now and went back out to my garage and there isn't any thing on the ground, and i checked all fluids and are all fine...
Any body have an idea???

I had a burnt oil smell with mine too. Drove me nuts
My cv boot on the front stock drive shaft had torn so as I drove past 2500 rpm it would sling grease on my pipes. The grease would then burn and smoke.....If you have over 3 inches of lift and stock drive shafts keep an eye on them....I would get under the jeep and look for and greases slinging on the under side of the jeep
