Hey guys
I went to check my oil the other day, and when i pulled out the dipstick i could smell a faint smell of petrol.... Obviously that doesn't sound great... ![]() It seems to be running fine. No sign of smoke etc. My fuel consumption has increased but thats more likely the fact i've moved to town and am now doing a lot of stop go driving... Im going to pull out the sparkys tonight and see if they're screwed - Is there anything else i should check??? Mines a 3SFE Thanks! Liam -------------------- ![]() |

It shouldn't reek of fuel though, a slight odour is normal.
Just saw where it said faint. Yeah, if there's 3,000+ miles on the oil and it's a faint smell you're fine. Though a tuneup wouldn't hurt if it hasn't been done in awhile. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
