I have an oil leak on the passenger side under the car and I don’t where it’s coming from. It smells through the vent when I come to a stop. Can you please help me?

Good morning,

It could come from many places. It is hard for me to tell from here without seeing it.

The smell is coming from the oil hitting the hot exhaust. I would take it to a shop and have them do a visual check on it to see where the leak is located.

Once they tell you the source, get back to me with their results.

Good afternoon,

Can you attach some pictures of where the oil leak is located? It will help track down the source.
