Temperature Related Issue?

May I ask which light it is?

It is the check engine light ...

At first I was convinced that the gas cap was loose ... wrong
Then I noticed that it seemed to disappear after the temp got to about 50F ... that made me think it was temp related.

Now I have noticed that there is a very distinct oil burning odor once I park the car ... my thought is that the cat has given up the ghost?

I am still under the extended warranty ... well at least for another 8500 miles. I was really attempting to avoid the dealer. Guess that I will be making the visit on Friday .... that is unless I can get some expert advise!

Thanks for replying
