My audi and my buddies S4 both smell of burning oil while warming up. Oil levels in both cars are never low. We came to the conclusion that it is an 'audi thing.' Correct or Incorrect?

If it is coming through the vents you most likely have a leak in the cam gaskets or somewhere on the engine.
Take off the plastic and check, it is probably dripping onto your exhaust manifold and smelling up the cabin.

yea i have a leak in mypassenger side(and my driver side) valve cover gasket and it leaks onto the exhaust manifold. the cabin induction/cabin filter is right above the manifold so any smells in the engine get sucked in and as the weather gets colder. as the weather gets colder, the more i use my heater and the sucksin that cold, tainted air.

Leaky gaskets or cam seals may explain thehot oil smell I detect at the first stop after exiting a highway (and driving high speed). I don't notice any leakage under the car, although I suppose the drip pan would catch it. I'll have to check next oil change. Also I don't seem to be losing any oil between changes at 6-7k miles. So other than being annoying, would I be right in assuming there is no harm done.
PS - Marko, if you like handiwipes, buy a set of dry erase markers. I'll guarantee you'll enjoy the higher potency and start lurking around conference room.
