Reid

Spilled anything on the engine that's burning off?

Typel2

i think i spilled some engine oil when i add some.... but only very little....

Reid

Congratulations!

You now know what that smell is.

Typel2

really?? how can i be sure? can it be anything else other than that??

Reid

Where is the smell coming from?

Just start the car and find where the smell is coming from.

Typel2

it's not there when i start my car.. .. everything looks fine.. no smell at all..
only when i run the car for sometime......

Rguy

Next time u get the smell, pull over, pop the hood and stick ur sniffer in that engine bay and see where its coming from.

Reid

I guess you didn't understand what I meant.

Start your car, pop your hood and wait til you smell the smell.

Typel2

i have done that.. let me go and do it again ..
i am really worry now.....

Typel2

sorry man .. i didn't read carefully.

Reid

Relax.

It's a smell.

My car smells like a mix of unburnt fuel, burnt rubber, and toxic emissions. And then there's the carbon monoxide that I can't smell...

Typel2

thx man..
i am very poor ..no money to fix...
just don't want anything big happening..
