Hey,
How do you diagnose an intermitant burning oil smell inside on a 2001 S4?
I can't see any oil leaking, doesn't use any oil, and it's very random and sporadic.
Once in a while, I get a hint of a burning oil smell in the car while driving.
I just had the oil changed too.

RE: Burning oil smell
My car has the same intermittent problem. But I opened up the hood one morning and found the smell coming from the power steering reservoir area. Not sure if it CV boot or what, but I dont have any unusual noises. I plan on checking this out this weekend, so if I find anything out I'll let you guys know.

check your cam and valve cover seals, see if they are leaking...
