Engine oil leaks. Wife (main driver of vehicle) reported strong smell of burning oil. Dealer mentioned that this is a common problem and that manufacturer has covered repair for other owners. Manufacturer declined assistance for our model year (1999 with 37,000 miles) even though they would approve a 2000 model year with up to 62,000 miles.
