Burning smell after Head Gasket Change?

I have a ford Mondeo v6 which recently had a head gasket replacement,

Since getting the car back iv had to go back a few times because of Oil burning smells from the engine, they have now replaced the manifold gasket and used gasket sealer.

Now i have a strong rubber burning smell, As you can imagine this is starting to frustrate me.. Could the new smell be the sealant that they would have used??



Any help would be great,

Thanks in advanceBurning smell after Head Gasket Change?How long does it last? I just had my head gasket replaced and a cylinder head re-shaped a week ago and my car is still smoking heavily with a rubbery smell. They said it is just the residual oil, but today I noticed a puddle of oil under my car. Should the smell be lasting this long?

All those smells should go away .

gasket sealer on a manifold ? Thats a new one, typically putting in a new gasket should be enough. Typically what happens sometimes is during the removal process some oil or coolant may spill on the engine. When the engine starts and heats up this oil/coolant residue will burn off causing an oder. This should only last for a day or two..
