ok i got myself a 95 gsr 2dr, mileage on it now is 160587 around there. the facts i know right now is that i know i need an oil change because the owner i bought it from said the last time he changed the oil was 157400 so im already 187 over. another thing is my boss told me i have an exhaust leak and i dont even know how to find out if i do have a leak (fyi he works at a body shop).
so tomorrow afternoon after i get off work i will buy a new oil filter to finally change my oil.

ok so tonight my friend was driving behind me and tells me that my car really stinks he doesnt know what it smells like but its like something is burning. so i tell him step on the gas while parked and i smelled nothing, so i think it only smells when im driving but i cant smell it while im in my car. can someone please help me on this one?


edit: changed my oil, the weird odd smell ended. now i started smelling burning rubber wen i started driving even my friend tailing me can smell it too.

edit: i smell somewhat burning rubber inside my car wen i started driving off after the oil change. my friend whose tailing me tells me he smells rotten eggs

how do i fix those problems?

 

Did he see any smoke? Are you consuming any oil?

 

he saw no smoke, didnt check on the consuming oil but if it is then that means i am right how do i fix that?

 

Go and check your oil level on the dip stick.

 

ok i just checked my dip stick and it looks fine. wat else could the problem be?

 

If your smelling something funny, then it could be a clogged cat. Take it off and shake it and see if you hear a radding sound then it could be it.

 

my eg does that..when i get on it..it smells really bad..

 

ya but i cant smell it. it only smells wen im on the road or moving the people behind me can only smell it i havent even smelled it.

 

ok guys got back from changing my oil. now the odd weird smell is gone now my friend says its like a burning rubber smell the same smell i started smelling right after we left his house. whats this problem now?

 

In what conditions does the smell occur?

 

this burning rubber just started wen i shifted to first and then it continued for about 2 minutes &lt;- this is me smelling it from inside while im driving. my friend also said the burning smell started wen i started driving but i dont know how long it lasted.

 

Check your belts and engine wiring harness in that general area. I once found a pair of scissors there, and the plastic and metal were worn down by the belts.

 

shoots thanks. does having an exhaust leak make any type of smells

 

Is it sulphourus? Like a rotten egg smell? My b18 w/ no cat doesn't stink, it only smells a bit when i step on it.

 

just asked my friend and he said its like a rotten egg smell but that was last night but today the smell is not as thick. i dont even know wat his smelling now earlier he said it smells like burning rubber now an egg smell, i gotta find some friends who know how to drive stick so i can smell it for my self while tailing my own car.

 

Its probably just an exhaust leak, only way to tell is to get under there.

 

aww ok thanks, so exhaust leaks can cause some stink smells then i didnt know that. i gotta fix this asap then. obtw how do i fix it?

 

you probably have some pastic melted to your exhaust. you can be going 120 and that shT will grab your cat or muffler like an STD. as far as being 160 over an oil change, no worries. ive seen guys come in my work over 10,000. the worst was 25,000 and the oil had gummed up and the car was throwing a vtec code of somesort. needless to say the engine was sludged and replaced. but go and get it done asap, you dont ned to make it a habit.

 

ya changed my oil today took a while but after starting up my car seemed better until my friend told me about the smell again.

 

did you fart?

 

Isn't the rotten egg smell from the clutch?
Almost positive thats what the smell was related to.
