Hey guys I have a 97 850 GLT and I got a serious leak. When the car came to a stop the smell of burnt oil was coming through my vents. Popped the hood and oil everywhere. Wondering if you guys think it's the seals or cap. On my iPhone will post a pic when I get home.

when is the last time you changed your filler cap o-ring? mine went bad and was pumping oil all down the front and back of my engine.

if most of the oil is towards your cam gears it could also be a cam seal or even your main. remove your timing cover if this is the case and see if there is oil anywhere on your timing belt.
