Ahh....the great smell of oil, tires, and clutch. Smells like fun to me. I know it takes a while to get used to, but you finally will.

Since I can't see the original post because it's been edited, I can only imagine it something like this,

"Ever since I changed to a diet of processed garlic and milk curd, every time I get out of my car, it smells. Any pointers?"

Let's not be too hard on the lad. Maybe he left his lunchbox in the back seat and forgot about it.... That could happen.

I thought most of us drive fast enough that no "personal aromas" can linger...

oil smell problem

had the same problem. it is the nut on top of the valve cover, there is a small gasket, then a nut; my mechanic during an oil change replaced the gasket, tichtened the nut, total cost 30 minutes. another porsche shop said I needed to have the engine pulled =$900.
my mechanic is the mobil station route 28 w. yarmouth, ma (cape cod). great guys, great mechanics.
