TJ smell

[KrazyJeeper]

Ok, hows everyone doing? Haven't posted in awhile, still trying to get settled in, but I do need your help. The other day I drove the TJ and once I got out, I faintly smelled something like oil burning. This has happened once or twice before but I discounted it but now Im worried. I thought it may be the T-stat but all gauges read fine. Anyone have a suggestion. The engine runs fine and nothing other than the smell is out of the ordinary. Thanks, KJ

I take it you have checked the oil level and it is fine, right? Have you "read" the plugs yet to see if it is burning any oil?

Auto or manual?

Dirty engine?

I would suggest you start off by buying an engine degreaser and heading over to the local car wash, degrease the motor and transmission area. Then go for a nice drive. When you get back start off looking for oil leaks.

Also , though I am not sure of the year of your jeep but your PVC valve?
