Slegacy96 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 A week ago my Legacy started smelling really bad. The left side of the engine is producing this burning rubber/oil smell. I have plenty of oil. Thankfully the car is getting better gas mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegacy96 Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 No i havent but wouldnt oil still leak out from underneath the car? Because there isnt any there. Could it be a cylinder head gasket. I know I have at least one that is cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
