| Re: slight whif of hot oil Done that several times even though its hard to tell as oil is so new can hardly make out level on dipstick its seem that its still pretty much full if there is a oil leak its only a few drops but can still give of a smell.i was wondering if there is a breather pipe?

| Re: slight whif of hot oil All I can suggest is trying to source the point of it by sitting with the bonnet open and the car securely parked. Can you wiff the smell through your air vents, or with windows open?

| Re: slight whif of hot oil I had the same when mine was new.. It stopped doing this at about 2000km. I had openned a thread asking the same question as you and several people responded that they had the same problem but it went away after a couple thousant km.

| Re: slight whif of hot oil Exactly the same happened on my 1.2 Active. As it has passed 2000 miles the smell has gone, I suspect a bit of a spill or overfill. Roscoe
