Description of the problem | I noticed that my exhaust smelled strongly of hydrocarbons so i examined and photographed the dip stick and the crank case oil was a dark brown and smelled of gasoline. The trax has 3245 miles on the odometer and may have had waste oil dumped in it while my wife and i were asleep in our home with a gas port.. There are signs on the local highways of engine failure spewing oil on the asphalt and weakening the newly paved roads. |
