Looks like my 2016 ram 1500 with only 33k miles is going to the dealer. Ive been noticing a faint smell of burning oil lately inside the cab when stopped and upon inspection, i have found signs of an oil leak. Luckily i don’t think its bad as i dont see any leakage on my driveway or on any other components other than whats pictured. Below is a link to some pictures. I change my own oil and have never noticed this before so I believe this is new. Thanks

Looks like shes coming out of the valve cover but you should take off the engine dressing to get a better look.

Agreed.. looks like valve cover gasket issue.

Was it valve cover gasket? I had this same problem and it was far worse.
