18 plate Tipo 1.4 T-Jet
I'm finding that when I start the car warm (roughly 10 - 45 mins after parking up somewhere) I get a really strong smell of oil in the cabin for about 30 seconds. It doesn't smell like burning oil, just the 'normal' smell of engine oil. It only happens when you actually start the engine (you can turn the ignition on and let the blower run for as long as you like without the smell).
It doesn't happen when the engine is cold after sitting overnight.
It had a perished/split breather hose replaced under warranty about a month ago but this hasn't solved the issue. The car isn't actually losing any oil as I have been keeping an eye on it and it is still full.
Has anyone else had this issue at all?
