Got a puzzle for everybody. I'm getting a faint oil smell from my car. I figured I was just burning a little oil which wouldn't really bother me, since I've read about Rexxes burnin some ocassionally. However, I changed my oil when I installed my up/dp and AP and it hasn't used a drop in 2000 miles. Is this oil smell just from running catless? I was expecting more of a strong carbon monoxide smell. My current setup is catless with hoses and AP at stage 2.
Thanks for any help.

Bump for a little help.

 

Is the smell coming from the exhaust or is it coming from the engine bay?

did you spill any oil when you were changing it?

 

I spilled a little, but I changed my oil like 2000 miles ago. I figured most of it would be burnt off by now. I'm probably just being too paranoid.

 

nah its your upper lip.hahahah. JP.

 

like the other guy said

is smell comin from your engine or your mufler

most likely its just b/c you're running catless

 

Check the pcv system - mine was weeping oil (passenger side of the engine, sort of below the front corner of the intercooler)

carbon monoxide doesn't smell (that's sort of why they sell CO detectors for homes...)

 

I'm pretty sure the PCV valve is fine, but I'll check it. By the way, when are you supposed to change the PCV valve anyway?
Thanks for the help guys.
