![]() I came back out and started the car and got a waft of burnt oil smell from. I turned the engine off and ran inside for less than a minute. This morning I was parked at a slight incline. Since I could not find a E90 specific forum I thought I would attempt to post my issue here. But still enough to stink to high heaven ! With the cheesy air intake ducts right on top of the engine, well "stupid is as stupid does " comes to mind. E90/N52: Brief burnt oil smell this morning. And with such a small amount that is seeping onto the hot surface, the amount of oil lost might equal a couple of teaspoons between oil changes. It simply burns up and creates this nasty smell. I also know the tiny bit of seepage onto a manifold will virtually never manifest itself into an oil leak that drips on the ground or creates an oily smear under the vehicle. Replaced the 4 injectors and problem solved. ![]() Then you can clearly see that the base of the injectors are wet with gas. In order to get to the injectors you have to remove the engine air filter and the housing. Īfter 50 years of working on Fords and all sorts of other vehicles, I know all too well what a minuscule amount of oil seeping onto a hot exhaust manifold smells like. The gas smell coming from the vents at a stop were caused by 2 leaking injectors. A replacement will cost around 400, and labor is several hundred more. The E90 electric water pump is not a cheap piece of equipment. AC or heater set on fresh air intake, stopped for a light or whatever with a slight tail wind. Symptoms of a failing/failed water pump include: 1) engine overheating, 2) fan comes on immediately even when the engine is cold, 3) and possibly a check engine light. The most noticeable stink in the cabin is when the vehicle is completely warmed up, driven 15 or twenty miles. It started the day we drove it home brand new. Guess what ! The 2016 Escape does exactly the same thing.
