after its been running for a but i get out and my car smells like a fire. it doesnt smoke or anything. it leaks some oil but not alot at all. 200k miles. 94 coupe.

any ideas?

 

What kind of fire? haha. Theres so many different things that can burn or smell like they are burning on a car it could be any number of things. If you can't describe it find someone you know that knows cars well and ask them what it smells like.

Also the thread title made me lol

 

not like rubber burning..or like oil burning..and theres always steam coming out of the passenger headlight. ?? i never lose water though. im pretty sure its not smoke

 

You may want to look further into this^.

 

Yeah that is called blow-by. It will smell exactly like that and I would propose that it is coming out of a valve cover, blocked pcv, charcoal canister.

It prolly means that your rings are on their way out if it is in fact blowby. Or the pcv is blocked and not allowing the crankcase to vent properly.
