Hey guys, sorry for posting this on honda-acura. I think you guys know more than those guys at srtforums. I bought a srt-4 yesterday, and it was running really good, tempature was saying good everything seemed perfect. When I drove up a steeper hill, i smelt a burning oil/gas kinda smell. Than just coasting I didnt smell it. Than we parked I started smelling it again, outside of the car. Didnt see any oil leaking. Does anyone know what this could be, and how I can fix this. Is something bad gonna happen soon

 

Is it a new car? Is it still under warranty? If so, bring it to the dealer.

 

Because it's a Dodge..

j/k

I would guess when they topped of fluids they might have spilt some oil on the motor.. go spray it down at a carwash..

 

take it to the dealership as already mentioned.. I wouldn't think that it would have an oil leak already, but it is a neon I guess

 

Ive heard, that all turboed cars stink sometime in the car.. So maybe it is not a problem.

 

Only 20k miles.. Its in perfect shape, dont you guys think it would just be cause its turbod, and thats why it is making that smell. The smell is a small of gas/burning oil and a sulfer smell. I dont know???

 

When you bought it did it look like they had put some kind of shiney stuff on the plastic's and hoses and stuff.
Was it really shiney under the hood?
If so it might be that they put some tire shine on the hoses and whatnot to get a really nice shine, and they accidently got some on the block and exhaust and it's just burning it off. Tire shine is made up of an oily waxy substance.

 

Thats true it did, but ive heard that all turbod cars have a wierd smell having to do something with the catalytic convertor. But It did kinda smell like burning oil/ sulfery smell.

 

JUST TAKE IT BACK TO THE ****ING DEALERSHIP!!

Jezuuzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How hard is it to do that when you are still under warranty, shiat! Just drive it to them, tell them your problem and then they will either solve it or you complain... honestly..

 

Thanks guys.. Keep the input coming. But there is a reason I cant take it to the dealership right now, and thats why i keep asking.. I dont want to explain the reason that I cant take it to the dealership, but I wont be able to till the 26th.
