Figured it out, cant believe it… I recently put a/c pro in to charge the system. Turns out there was a leak in the 15mm bolt that connects the metal lines to the compressor…there was a bright green/yellow liquid dripping from the compressor and I thought it was antifreeze, then I remembered I run dexcool. so that means it could only be the a/c pro leaking out. (im assuming it had uv coloring in it) So when I hit the gas and spin the compressor harder it spews out onto my hot exhaust that is sitting right next to it. I turned my a/c completely off and drove it…no smell.
My valve cover has always leaked and the oil level is normal. the car runs and drives fine it just smells awful, almost toxic. yesterday I cleaned puddles of oil around the spark plugs and wires. drove it around after that and problem still there…then I noticed that when you accelerate hard it gets really bad. The car is a 98 cavalier 2.2
