I have only driven the car 5 times so far, but whenever I stop the car I get a smell coming from the passenger side vent of burning oil/burning plastic. I have seen loads of threads going back years but no real answers even though I assume the people who started the threads eventually got their issues sorted. The oil pressure is normal. The oil seems ok but I will change it tomorrow just incase, coolant if fine.
The car is a 03 DE, Automatic transmission so not a clutch issue, Today I drove a little longer than usual and noticed the smell in the cabin while driving, shutting all the vents and turning the AC off helped but I need to get down to the bottom of this.
From those unresolved threads I see people suggested the cats being clogged, oil from the dip stick leaking out, Gaskets leaking oil onto the exhaust system and burning.
So has anyone that had the strong smell around the passenger side footwell got it sorted and if so how?
