CA11RBZ 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2019 Hi, searched the forums and found cam plate cover leak however I’ve checked it and ran a paper towel under it and no oil is there. Also checked below to see if any dripping oil has left a mark on the overpipe and there’s nothing there. The smell appears when I accelerate through the gears topping at about 5k rpm. More so occurs when I drive up hill. Looked under the car to see if I’d picked anything up that might be burning onto the exhaust but nothing. Smell is intermittent so I can’t replicate it all the time. many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich196 103 Report post Posted August 10, 2019 your problem is this car has a huge manifold thats not far off the same size the under tray. Couple that with every seal on engine being a liquid gasket and not a proper one little leaks are common nearly all catch the manifold and cause a smell. Id suggest getting a mirror and stick and looking round the front chain cover they often leak there.
