Post-ATF pan drop.
Q: What would cause a faint ATF odor emanating from the engine bay?
The vehicle is going to go up on a rack on Monday to check for leaks but the unit shifts fine so I suppose leak could be really small.
Could it be off gassing from the parts themselves as they heat cycle (gasket, plastic drain pan)?
The smell does not present itself when the vehicle is running and in park. Only after it has been in gear (pressurized?).
Thoughts?
It's going into the shop on Tuesday but I figured I'd ask you guys. In the mean time.
