Slight oil smell, very rare though
 
Allrigth, if i accelerate hard every now and then i will get a wiff of oil. Its not every time i get on it, and its only a wiff, i dont smell it for a period of time or anything, its just there then gone. Does anyone have any ideas...

My car always stinks of oil and gas......Oil is injected into the combustion chamber so burning oil smell is normal

It is most definetly NOT normal.

It is likely you have a oil leak that is getting on something hot. Investagate and repair any oil leaks, especially around the right side of the engine.
