Default Burning Smell

Help, Every time I drive my 2003 A6, there is a burning Rubber smell on the passenger side of the engine after I park. I also hear a slight moan coming from the engine that I didn't hear before . Took the car to the dealer, they performed 70K service found nothing.

Probably oil dripping on the exhaust from leaky valve cover gasket, cam seals, etc.

Default ...they found nothing abnormal because all Audi's with 30V engines leak oil and have that smell!

Way too common problem, unfortunately. Synth oil smells worse that dino - I've had several of these leaks between 2 30V cars and it doesn't take much oil to produce a lot of stink - like a few drops buring are enough to make you sick when its cold out and the heater is on.
