Does your engine oil compartment smell like gas and should we be concerned?
Okay, I just read the following post, #8 in particular. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=263074
After driving the 10 or so miles home from work tonight I pop the oil cap and take a whiff, and sure enough the engine compartment wreaks of gasoline. Now my check engine light has not come on yet, but I've never owned a car where the engine compartment and oil smelled like gas. So is this something to be seriously concerned about and if so, what Lexus doing about this?
Someone made reference to a TSB, so can we get a copy of it. So far, I'm only getting about 16mpg with city driving, which has been a let down.
Any mechanics or others experiencing this problem out there that can weigh in on this?
Thanks
