Default Burning oil smell
I have around 8000km (4,800 miles) on my RS4... it has started smelling burning oil from even the most casual trip to the coffee shop. No leaks in the engine bay.

I had the 6 months service done on her about 2 months ago. No warning lights on for oil but I suspect this may be oil consumption related.

Anyone have similar issues?

Oil leak onto the manifold/exhaust? You paid BIG BUX for a warrantee, bring it in.
