I have a 2005 Dodge Durango, 4.7 V-8, 76,000 miles. When I come to a stop I smell oil that comes thru the air vents. It goes away when I go down the road. I have heard this discussed before on the show but cannot remember what it was.
Any help would be appreciated.
Normally this could be oil leaking out of the valve covers and onto the exhaust manifold. These smells would not be prominent at speed, as they are taken out by the natural air circulation under the hood. Have your mechanic check there for obvious oil leaks first.
At that mileage you should not have engine blow-by, where exhaust fumes enter the crankcase in large volume and find their way into the engine compartment. This causes exhaust fumes getting sucked into the passenger compartment
I must agree with the Doc here… Stole the words right out of me mouth on this one
Check the oil pressure sending unit for leaks too.
