Karr-Man 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 u said u noticed the smell of oil, did it smell like engine oil or transmission oil??? theres a big difference and tranny oil is unmistakeable, it smells REALLY bad... not like engine oil at all. Link to post Share on other sites
