Whenever I drive my car and the engine is at normal operating temp, I can smell oil. Especially when I punch it.
The engine is dry with zero oil leaks and was recently rebuilt from the P's and C's out. It doesn't blow blue smoke or consume excessive oil. If I leave it idling and sniff around the the oil filler cap I can smell the oil quite strongly still and removing the filler I can see an oily mist swirling around the neck. I have a breather and catch can mounted in the trunk. Just wondering if this is a characteristic of 3.2 engines as any of the other sixes I've had in the car never smelt this bad and it really detracts from the pleasure of driving my car. |
