Smells problem
1996 Ford Fiesta 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

i recently took my car in for a service where they spilt oil all underneath the car. i took it away and there was a terrible smell which was making my eyes burn and terrible taste in my throat. i took it back and they scrubbed the oil of the bottom and it still had the same smell. they say there is nothing wrong with it but it is the same.

Hi there,

It sounds as if there is still oil on and around the exhaust, if there is no leak, take the car for a good long drive and it should burn off, if it persists go back to the mechanic and get then to inspect for a problem.
