Just picked up a 2013 Tahoe 5.3 with 19k miles and noticed a burning oil smell after driving about 30 minutes when I come to a stop. I can't see any leaks and originally thought it was from a oil change, but that should have cleared by now.

So what area should I be looking at next? Valve cover gaskets? I am thinking maybe seeping onto the rear of the exhaust manifold.

I had a 2011 Silverado with the 5.3 with no issues.
