Your engine is leaking oil from the camshaft housing area onto the exhaust manifold, causing a strong burning smell while driving. This is a known issue on 5.7L V8 engines where insufficient silicone sealant was applied during manufacturing. The oil leaking onto the hot exhaust poses a potential fire risk. Fixing this will likely require resealing or replacing the camshaft housing gasket and sealant.
