Odd smell

Every time my wife gets on it to pass someone or just playing around this odd burnt oil smell fills the inside of her jeep. There are no leaks everything is tight and apears to be in place. The only time it happens is when she gets on it hard. Any ideas? I cannnot think of anything
Her Jeep is an 08 GC 4.7L AWD

I wonder if it's the PCV system dumping oil into the intake and you're smelling the oil burning? Or, could be a bad PCV valve that is possibly spitting oil a little bit on something hot under the hood. I'd look around for any loose hoses and check your PCV.

The swirl motor problem may give off an oil/electrical burning smell but I think it does it anytime, not just under acceleration.
