Hi.
I'm fortunate to have recently bought a low mileage Panda 100hp. Car is fantastic apart from one issue I can't fathom out.
After 5 or 10 mins driving a noticeable oil smell comes into the car when parked at lights etc. Smell is not there when moving. With the engine running and bonnet up there is a mild smell but nothing huge. There is no obvious oil leak and no evidence on the ground where parked. I'd be very grateful if anyone can offer any ideas as what is the likely cause. Prior to purchase the car had oil service and mot.
If it is as simple as a spillage would it have burnt off after 2 weeks of short urban trips? The oddest thing is that the strongest smell enters the car when reversing on my drive. Many thanks in advance for any help.
