Default Not for sure if this should go here....

This has to do with oil. Recently I have noticed that when I turn my heater on in my car it smells like hot oil coming through the vents. Everytime I get out of my car I smell like oil.
The only thing I can think this would be casued frmo is the metco breather releasing the scent into the engine bay and being recirculated back inot my car. Has anyone else noticed this or had this type of problem with the metco breather?

Thanks

actually, I remember that problem mentioned on here before
The oil vapors, from the breather were getting into the car.
Ya might wanna do a search on the breather, you'll find the complaints.
I would stick with the PCV system, personally.
good luck
