Smell from Engine Bay Hi all,
I have an odd smell coming from my engine bay.
Its a 99 WS6 w/111k miles.
I picked up the car a few months ago and the smell was pretty strong, now that i've been driving it, the smell isn't too strong anymore but still lingers.
Its a really rich smell.
Any ideas?
*ALSO I cannot smell this from anywhere else, only way is to pop the hood.

Its a very rich smell, gotta say fuel or something similar to fuel.
Which concerns me 0_0 (my 84 blew up on me so i'm paranoid) haha.
Oh how I wish it was just some road kill hiding somewhere, that'd be easier...

I just recently did an oil change to full synthetic and that's when the smell did get "lighter", now that I think about it
I would say just monitor your level on the dipstick. If your oil slowly vanishes then it is either leaking out or burning.
