Default Burning oil but no smoke?

last night after a spirited run down a local highway a buddy who was behind me said that when i really stood on the throttle all he could smell was burning oil. now i have no smoke what so ever coming from my car and i havent noticed the smell my self. after we stopped he said it smelt like it was coming from the exhaust. car is 1jz'd 3in pipeing all the way back to a HKS hi power. any ideas? oh and i am also not loosing any oil. change was done about a month ago and i wasnt down any noticible amount then and my dipstick says i'm not down right now.

Maybe there was just oil on your exhaust. or worst case your turbo is leaking and has a bad seal which means oil into the exhaust lots of ceramic exhaust wheel turbos do this. umm check the housing on your turbo for oil.
