Re: [T3] exhaust smell

[Per Lindgren <lindgre@online.no>]

<x-flowed>I experienced something similar in my 64 Bug. What I'm telling here is 
general VW info so the fact that it's a Bug doesnt matter. Anyways, I 
had a leaking valve cover on right side. I didnt notice any smell until 
the vent pipe from the fan housing to the heater box fell off. This 
caused the soke from the oil on the hot heaterbox to get sucked into the 
cabin from the low pressure area in the engine compartment. I hooked up 
the pipe again and replaced the valve cover gasket and no more smell.
