It happen to me several times, had that burning electrical smell especially when I gunned it and everytime I would check the dipstick was not on as tight and I had oil all over that whole area in the motor

Well if you have 60+k I would change them anyways, as for what the cause of your "problem" is, just give it a good inspection.

I hate that ****ing dipstick, cant check oil worth ****. I have to zip tie it so it doesnt interfere with the vortech cog pulley. The dip stick wasnt sealed in all the way and started spewing oil everywhere.
