After a while of checking possible causes we came across the possibility that either an oil seal was damaged/worn or a valve. Guess what. It was a PCV valve. It needed to be changed and then both the burning smell and white smoke where gone. Motor oil was leaking and burning away, then shooted out the exhaust. It works perfect now and have not had an issue such as this ever since. It could be a cable as well that is frying due to the engine heat. Check to see if any cables are opened up and burning up because of the heat.

There is a hose towards the left rear underside about 3 inches belowe the throttlebody that becomes kinked. It leads to your PCV valve. I installed a unilcoil ( used to reroute hoses without kinking them) and the smell instantly went away.

I'm all stock.
