Oil Smell
Has anyone have an idea where a oil smell can be coming from when you turn on your heater. I notice it really bad when the car is idiling in a still position. As soon as you take off, it seems to go away some. I started the engine yesterday with the hood up and looked around and could smell it but could not find the source of it. Any ideas?

my car has a nasty oil leak comming from the oil pan, you can only see it if you look underneath the car, check that before anything, it could have splashed a bit onto your exhaust because it's right next to it, i believe you can only see the oil pan from the passangers side of the car aswell....

I'll look tonight for an oil leak near the exhaust. I already checked for oil leaks over the week end. I parked it in the garage. I did not have any oil puddles on the garage floor. Weird how we think. I thought of most of this. I did not check to see of it is leaking on the exhaust though...
