It's a 2013. Yeah I checked the cam plate, haven't checked around the valve covers yet. Nope, I haven't adjusted the clutch pedal either. I'm gunna to get under it this weekend and root around. I got gas at a new gas station on this full up, it's a stretch but maybe a bad tank of gas is making it smell weird. Haha I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. |

Subaru apply some paraffin wax (don't know how you call it..) over the engine/transmission/exposed metal under the hood to protect it from corrosion. Or at least they do here in Europe.
My GT86 showed some greenish paste on those parts, and a faint smell of burn oil/rubber when the car was hot ; which was in fact this paraffin thing burning. I had the dealership clean it. No more smell since ![]() |

I was thinking A. Check the bottom of the cam plate for any signs of oil. The smell is cause by oil dripping on the header and burning it.
