Every time I get/do an oil change I get an oil smell when coming to a stop, both through the aircon vents and with the window open. Can also smell it through the gap between the bonnet and front mudguard when I've come to a stop. However, you open the bonnet and you can't smell it.
It seems to last for 200 or so kilometres and then it's gone until the next oil change. Each time there's no indication of any leaks or spills.
First few oil changes were done by my local dealer, and this has been happening from the very first service, however I put it down to being sloppy when filling or cleaning up after draining the oil. But it's exactly the same when i do it and being pedantic about leaks or drips.
It's not a burnt oil smell - just smells of engine oil.
Anyone had this issue and know what it is? I've done a Google and there was a thread on this same issue on a US forum, but haven't seen any other mention of it.
