Introduction/ Navara

[Henry Jacobs]

Hi, my name is Henry Jacobs. I am addictive to 4x4............LOL. Just joined the forum BUT I do not own a patrol. I’m driving a Nissan Navara 2007 dc 4x4 and the reason i joined the forum is to get a clear understanding of the my vehicle and the capability of it. Not sure if this is the correct forum and if not can any one point me in the right direction? I have a oil smell coming from the cabin which makes me extremely nerves. The smell starts when I exceed 80km. I am sure I need to take it in to Nissan, but before I do I need to be one step ahead of them, if you know what i mean.

This is my story.

Regards,

Welcome to the forum mate. It's a patrol forum but your close owning a nissan.

I would put up a separate post in another section about your problem to get the best results as a lot of people don't read the intros mate.

Good luck!

G'Day and welcome to the forum Henry

G'day Henry and welcome, the oily smell is probably coming from around the gear stick, if the oil level is too high it froths up and the vapour can escape into the cabin.
If the gearbox oil is low, the oil can get very hot and do the same.
It may also pay to check there is no oil leaking onto the exhaust system.
Also check there is no oil dripping from the bottom of the bell housing, this would be a rear main oil seal and it can find it's way onto the exhaust, especially at speed.
Look for tell tale black or brown stains on the exhaust system from the gearbox back.
Cheers, the ferret.
