i have a 1994 honda ex 1.6 civic coupe. when i get on it hard i can smell burning oil. i looked under the car and found oil dripping from somewhere on the 2-1 exhaust down pipe, then from there ( when the car is off and sitting) onto the ground. does anyone have an idea where the oil leak is? i know its not from the distributor or valve cover.

Did you have the oil changed recently or did you change the oil recently? Whoever did it may have left the old gasket/o-ring on the block from the filter when they put the new one on. Besides that you just need to clean everything off and go for a brief drive and come back and inspect it to figure out where it is coming from.
