Stinky smoke
Just got back from Tunbridge Wells and the car was wafting lots of oily smoke out of the back. Pulled into a layby before the long grind up towards Caterham-on-the-hill and captured the following short video clip. Apologies for the brevity.
I have a feeling it's gearbox-related due to the funny garlic/onion-ey smell. I thought that if the gearbox seal went, it normally dripped on the passenger side cat? I took a look under the car and saw that it was almost covered in liquid on the driver's side. The vanity tray looks to be rather full of liquid too when viewed from above looking into the engine compartment. Unless there's a minor miracle, it looks like it will be a week or so before I can get a grease monkey to take a look. Any words of wisdom?
Happy Christmas!
