JonRigby Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Since I fitted my decats I get a smell of oil whenever I stopped in traffic or park up, as soon as I get moving it goes and when I park it only last 5-10 seconds maximum. It doesn't leak and doesn't smoke so I don't think it's a serious issue but just annoying. Could a small amount be leaking out of a gasket onto the manifold making it a coincidence with the decats or is there a known issue when fitting decats? Thanks! Quote
chrisday1990 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Just put some news paper uner the car during the week and see what you get, anything serious would show itself. Quote
JoKeR Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Don't mean to sound like a knob but is it definitely oil as when I got de cats I had a strong smell of exhaust fumes all the times you have explained. If it is definitely oil then it could be the rocker cover gaskets. They are a common fault and I just had to change mine. Easy was to check mate is to pull spark plugs out of cyl 5 & 6 (the two closest to the windscreen) and watch them possibly drip with oil lol. That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Quote
