Burnt oil smell in cabin and under hood.

[Fauxnali]

Hey guys, I have a 2007 Yukon with the 5.3 in it and noticed a while ago the oil was low after about 3000 miles. I topped it up anticipating an oil change in the near future and ever since I've noticed a burnt oil smell coming from under the hood. No I did not spill a drop of oil on the manifold. I'm not sure a where the oil is going as there are no drips on the floor of my garage and it doesn't smoke so I'm doubting its a head gasket. Any thoughts guys?

Did you use the correct oil to manufactures spec? Just a thought , I know a friend screwed up one time and added the wrong weight and w.e the second number is and ended up burning the oil up

the Recommended oil now a days are Thin. Current Hondas are now running 0w-20. it pours like water and evaparates like it too.
