I have a 1991 Nissan Sentra. She runs really well but sometimes I smell oil when I get out of the car. She never seems to need oil so not sure what is the cause. Would a service clear that up, she is getting near to needing one?

Not so sure a service will clear this up.

It could be oil seepage which is getting onto the hot exhaust or manifold that is causing the smell.
