I AM SMELLING A STRONG ODOR AND SMOKE OF OIL BURNING ON THE EXHAUST OF MY 2001 CHEVY S-10. IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT I WENT TO THE AUTO HOBBY SHOP AT THE US NAVAL BASE AND PUT THE VEHICLE ON A LIFT TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE HOBBY SHOP HAS AN S-10 ALSO. HIS WAS DOING THE SAME THING. HIS WAS COMING FROM A LEAKY VALVE COVER GASKET THAT WOULD DRIP OIL DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE ON TO THE EXHAUST. I COULD NOT GET A CLEAR LOOK. I DID SEE OIL COLLECTING ON A BRACE ON THE FRAME NEAR THE EXHAUST. I AN AFRAID THAT THE OIL WILL CATCH FIRE. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. *JB
