34694, smell burning oil from exhaust
Posted by lx4life, Oct-12-02 12:05 PM
today i smelled burning oil of some sort coming from the exhaust but no smoke at all does anyone know why this is happening. i can't smell it when i am at a light or anything but if i walk behind it i can smell it.oh yeah a month ago it was smoking but i changed the oil and it stop smoking. it was smoking cause the dumb ass mechanic silled anitfrezze in the engine while the valve cover was off. i wasthinking that was why i smelled the oil burning or what ever it is. how can i fix that. some people are telling me that its my valve seals but i don't have any smoke coming out the exhaust

my car has a alcohol kind of smell coming from the exhaust. my friends say my car smells like a drunk, but stock 420a's run a little rich. find another 420a, sniff the fumes, if it smells the same, your fine. just dont sniff it too long.
later
