Anyone know why I'm getting the smell of burned oil through my AC Vents? This is the second time this happens. After driving for a while the smell will go away, assuming wherever the leak may be just burns put. Any pointers on where to look would be appreciated. I have 03' MP5.

I found a splatter of grease on my driver side wheel, when I took it off to see where it was coming from I came to find out it was from what looks to be a ball joint on the tie rod.
