oil smell
This only happens when I'm on the expressway. I have a 69 chevelle 305,th400 and 3.73 gears. I'm going about 30-40mph, enough to smell the oil threw the vents. I inspected the engine when i got home, no oil on the intake heads etc, everything looks dry.

What a poser.
Damifino  Not using any oil? Mechanical gage in dash / aftermarket? No oil leaks on back of motor around Dist , oil sending unit, Back of intake? Loosing any ATF? I have seen a mad modulator valve push ATF into the intake causing it to smoke out the passenger side bank. How long has this drive train been installed? is it new? R

Could it just be the new smell breaking it in ?
You know like if you get some oil on the Exhaust pipes & it takes a while to burn off. Other than that I a stumped & the other 64 people that have looked but not posted must feel the same way. I guess Look it over again & see if you find a leak or a PVC hose off . . . something. Or buy lots of air fresheners. R
