Vague Stink update 98cse Posted by DickT [Email] (#1628) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DickT) on Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:36:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Finally warmed up enough to work and with a long drive scheduled I had to resolve the problem. Turns out the water pump was starting to go and was weeping, pcv valve grommet was soft, and the downpipe had a leak someplace other than the intermediate pipe joint. I replaced it with the one from my parts car. The combination got rid of the smells.
In the rush to leave I wasn't aware that the heater valve flap had stuck wide open over the winter. AC hasn't ever worked since I got the car and I had pulled the compressor. It was a hot trip into warmer southern weather. I disconnected the cable and flipped the flap. Will try to troubleshoot when I get back.
Still puzzled about the downpipe leak.
