Hey everyone,
I've been experiencing an oily smell inside the cabin every now and then, mostly on long trips (1hr+). When I'm driving the smell is not there (probably because of the ventilation etc.) but when driving in slow traffic the smell is unforgivable. I've had a look at it myself and found out that there is oil dripping on the exhaust manifold causing it to burn and get sucking in via the vents.
So I was thinking rocker cover gasket but wanted a confirmation for here because the rocker cover gasket was changed not even a year ago by my local garage..(exact date 8th July 2014) They might have skipped corners and used a cheap gasket,which still costs 28GBP according to the bill), who knows..
So what do you guys reckon? Is it the rocker cover gasket? And what if it is the rocker cover gasket should I ask the garage for a refund or a re-do?
Thanks!
Brian
