Re: oil leak and gas smell front right side Posted by Mark in Marine [Email] (#1837) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mark in Marine) on Sun, 13 Oct 2019 11:30:47 In Reply to: oil leak and gas smell front right side, Peter N, Sat, 12 Oct 2019 06:36:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Can you get it onto jack stands or up on ramps ? I would do that, remove the serpentine belt splash cover, look at the area, clean up old grime, and start it at idle to look for a leak.
If the leak is extreme, you should spot it right away. The combination of oil and gasoline smell COULD be a red herring, if there's a bit of gas in the oil from shorter trips.
A small/slow leak might need you to drive around just a bit before re-inspecting to see where it's leaking. Don't forget that you can dab a white paper towel into a drop of the "oil' and let it wick into the towel to help you check for red color of ATF versus brown of engine oil.
Good luck, and post back with what you find.
