I have owned my 2023 for less than 200 miles (currently at 9,100 miles) and am experiencing the burning oil smell at stoplights. While doing a quick crawl under and over I found this part (PA66-GF33) sitting on top of the intake. Any idea where it may have come from? I do plan on taking it to the dealer for the burning smell, but always like to have an idea of what I’m dealing with overall. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!

I would say that is exactly what it is! It seems most others have had theirs fall off as well, so I greatly appreciate you being able to find it.

Decided to take a look at mine. It was there but completely loose. Don't plan to replace it.

Glad to have helped, as far as the burning smell you may want to check your exhaust pipes at the joints, your turbos may be leaking oil.
