I smell burning oil BUT only when I make a fast stop or quickly accelerate from a stop. I can find no physical leak and after 3000 miles of driving since last oil change the oil level is still the same. HELP

Your timing is good - another member here has the same issue but posted it in the General Discussion area.

Short answer - your valve cover gasket(s) are leaking at the bottom, rear-most bolt. Here's the link to the thread:
