burning smell inside stang
hey guys went to meet my gf again this weekend in meridian, ms. on my way there when i would down shift to 4th to pass someone and get on it a little bit, i can smell what seems to be burning oil inside the car. used to happen when i first got the 08, figured just new parts wearing in, then i didnt smell it for awhile and now its back. any clues to what it could be? i was thinking low rear diff fluid or something in the rear end. since that seems to be where the smell is coming from. so before i take it to the dealership i figured i would ask you guys.
thanks for any help you guys/gals can offer.

A shot in the dark, could you have ran over a plastic supermarket bag and it got stuck onto your exhaust somewhere?? It happened to me on my GLI and it drove me nuts until I put the car on a lift. Just a thought.

thanks for the idea. but i work at a land rover dealer and we all know those things leak like its there job. so i have smelled that sweet coolant smell a lot. and this is def a oil burning smell entering the inside of the car.

im also going to drain and refill the rear diff just to eliminate one source i think it is coming from. will have to check the owners manual to see what kind of oil goes into the diff.

Don't forget to add the 4 ounces of friction modifier for a Traction-Lok axle. Good luck.
