    Did you have the smell before the SeaFoam? I believe you have an N14 engine. Take a good look at the valve cover they some times warp with time due to heat and leak

    I do have an N14 engine and have had the smell for years. A mechanic years ago said the smell was because I installed silicone intake pipes but it has not gone away. It isn't the valve cover. I replaced that about 3 years ago and it is not where the smoke was coming from.
