However, on any turbo car some oil burn off is normal. However, alot of oil burn off could be caused by a serious problem.

Well it has come to my attencen that a lot more people are getting oil leaks then I thought. A lot of people are not noticing the oil leaks because of the plastic on the bottom of the car is holding all the oil. Take the plastic off and see if there is any oil build up. The oil leaks is either coming from oil feed line or coming from the timing cover.
If you do have this leak please take this to the dealer to see if we can get a TBS for this. Also keep an eye on this it took about 6000 mile before mine started to leak. Also keep a good check on your oil level as well. Its a slow leak maybe 4-5 drops a night.
here is a link where others have been getting this leak as well:

thankz for the update... are preferring to Evo X GSR only or that including the Evo X MR??????
Yeah a lot of us were experiencing a distinct smell, everyone was paranoid and thought it was either their clutch/brakes or various other issues, perhaps it's the small amount of oil burning off the engine when it warms up??? My oil level is always fine, however I do receive a smell from time to time, perhaps this is the issue???
damn, i better check my car for this leak. it has only 550 miles on it, but I'd rather catch this before its a huge problem. So whats the story, I just take of the plastic underbody pieces and if there is a leak, I should see oil in various places? I'm not very mechanically experienced, so be descriptive please.
