The car went in for a Roush exhaust and pump to be fitted and now all I can smell is oil in the cabin.
I thought it was just oil from the new exhaust burning off but I have done 4/500 miles since fitted last week and the smell seems to be getting worse.
Has anyone had this problem after having an exhaust fitted?
Any ideas?
F.C. confused

Sounds like they broke it, have you had a good look around they engine, can you see any leaks?
Sounds silly but:- sure it has'nt turned you into a hooligan and you've broken it!

No smell in mine after the exhaust.

What's the oil level like - is it using much over the last 500 miles you've done since getting the exhaust fitted?

The oil temperature capiliary gland nut was only finger tight into the sump = oil drip.
