Weyro Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Just serviced the car with the oil i always use, for some reason now when i accelerate i get a strong oil smell. Cant see any leaks.Any ideas?If i put too much oil in would it be coming out the breather? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yes too much oil in would be causing high pressure and coming out the breather. Is there any chance you may have spilled a small amount of oil? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 No definately isnt a spill. Ive driver 140miles and its still happening. Must have put too much in, i'll drain it and fill it again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Check the level on the dipstick and see how full it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
