I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu, I smell oil after driving but there aren't any oil spots on the driveway, the oil level is a little low, where could the leak be?
Thanks

Do you think the car might be burning it? What colour is the exhaust when you rev the engine?

Rear main seal. Happended to my 2008 Honda Pilot after it was in the shop. I'd have it looked at at a reputable mechanic.

Rear main seal could be a possibility. The oil pressure sending unit might be leaking as well, I guess they have a habit of leaking.

First check the oil drain bolt. If not solved then go for any repairing center.

Yes, no doubt. Should've checked that before I got the Pilot's rear main seal replaced. Stupid me.
