Default What smells are coming from your jeep?

I'm down to a mild-medium strength hot coolant & oil smell after I put on the wheel spacers. What about you guys?

I'm hoping it will go away once I replace my oil filter adapter O ring and rear freeze plugs (already replaced the 4 below the manifolds)

The only smells I have is the oil seeping out of ccv and filler cap. Other than that, just gas (reg and 2 cycle for the chain saws) and the smell of fresh wood chips ( I own a small tree farm).

Mine was doing really well in the smell department.
Then I had to haul the mastiff home from the veterinarian.

Now I'm leaving the windows open all night to air out.
