Good Afternoon All,
Curious how many others may have run into this? I have a 2016 Ram 1500 5.7 with 86,000 miles. Recently I have been having a burning oil smell when I come to a stop. No oil leaks on the ground noticed or on bottom of motor. After digging I found a small amount of oil by the intake manifold/plenum. Took to a mechanic and dug in thinking possible gaskets. After being apart it appears the plastic plenum/manifold is warped and coming apart and causing leak. Contacted Mopar parts and they are selling 97 units a week and are on backorder. Anyone else had this issue? Seems like should be a recall from FCA if they are selling that many a week, Sounds like a them issue. Thoughts?
