Hi! HANDJ, I had the same problem about 3 months ago, & I found a small amount of seepage of engine oil coming from the back of the valve cover right onto the exhaust manifold, burning very close to the firewall. Which is where the vents are located! Replaced the valve cover gasket & the problem was solved.....
