Yes, I'm a newb, so take it easy...
Yesterday, my 2011 Subaru Impreza started acting up. Here's everything I know
A funky, burning-like smell started coming from the air conditioner
I opened up the hood and there was just a tiny bit of smoke coming out. I found some oil that had dripped from the oil filter to what looks like the exhaust manifold
Checked the oil, it was between empty and full and still had good color - I used synthetic last time I changed it
I was able to just barely hand-tighten the filter - it was on there pretty good
I do not get any warning lights that it's overheating or anything like that.
So, I figure it's probably the oil that is hitting the exhaust manifold, heating up and smoking, which is then induced into the air conditioning which is what I smell. BUT, where is the oil coming from - could it be from something other than the oil filter seal?
Thanks for your help
