Because what I smell is kind of strong. I currently have the a/c set to recirculate. |
The FBM catch can is a vent to atmosphere, and unfortunately thefresh air draw is very close to where the can is, so if you see a noticeable difference in smell between recirculate and non then it is probably the catch can if it smells oiley. I had the D3PE catch can which is similar, and I could actually see the hot oiley air coming out from under the hood. I just accepted it and ran the A/C on recirculate when I was at a stop or in stop and go traffic. An exhaust leak in the area of the overpipe could also allow exhaust gasses to take a similar path to where the fresh air is grabbed for the A/C system.
