My guess is a combination of clutch and engine surfaces that have not been that hot for a while.
I have developed a very small leak in my rocker cover gasket, every time I get the EGT's up close to 1100+or so you sure can smell the oil burn off the exhaust manifold.
Hoping for a bit of dry weather with decent temps so I can change the gasket soon.
As I type I am listening to the thunder roar and watching the rain pour.
