Odd smell
 
I have a odd smell coming through vents after driving for 10-15 minutes. Kinda smells like a oil burn but im not sure. i have no other issues. 2002 Chevy SS . Any ideas?

02CHEVYMONTESS 09-28-2012 06:27 PM

Maybe gasket leak?

03JGMonte 09-28-2012 07:02 PM

Is it oil or an antifreez smell?

02CHEVYMONTESS 09-28-2012 07:07 PM

How's your antifreeze level in radiator ? It could be your heater core leaking .

It could be a valve cover gasket. They make a dye kit and light but i dont know that much about it. I think you put it in the oil and run the engine then look with the special light to see were any current leaks are.
