I have noticed a smell of burned something coming out of my engine bay. The car has now done 70,000 km.
I have booked it into the dealer next Friday (the earliest I can do it, because I will be out of town). I have checked the oil. Down very slightly, but well above the minimum notch. The brake fluid container looks OK - the level seems above the neck of the container. At the back of the engine, however, I can see a discolouration on the flat round aluminium-looking thing. (Bear with me, I can't find what it is called despite a search of Google images). I managed to put a finger on it, and it seems to be congealed oil or grease, spread thinly on the left side only of the "thing'' (looking at the engine bay from the front). Any ideas? |
