[FC] Heater smell (stink?)

[J R Read_HML]

I would suspect a top cover leak.

Here's the deal. I had a "well refreshed" engine put in last Fall. It really 
was done well. No problems last winter to speak of. Now I am getting a stiff 
smell in the heat. It smells like a drop of oil falls on the manifold and 
then it goes away. The engine is bone dry. No leaks to speak of.

This smell usually occurs while pulling out and while acceleratin at high 
speeds such as to pass someone.

Any ideas? Any of you have this? I drive my van most of the year, so good 
smelling heat is important to me.

Thanks in advance.

Ben
