siearl Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I have started to get a slight oil smell through the air vents when i stop at traffic lights or junctions etc, it then goes away when i drive. I have had a look over the engine and i can seem to see anything or oil deposits. Also i dont seem to be using any oil or have any warning lights on. Does anyone have any ideas, It is a 98 3 dr 1.8 freelander Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Is it definitely oil or could it be something else? I find the brakes often smell hot when I stop at the end of the motorway sliproad on my way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysjetski Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 take of the sump guard. see if you can see oil dripping or fresh oil on the sump pan. the rocket cover could be leaking, just remember a little hot oil will go a very long way.
