The funny smell everyone talks about.... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ricky rod · 06-13-2015, 11:54 AM

The famous smell after running the car with so many different versions. Some say that is the exhaust others say oil burning and many versions more. I personally thought that was the exhaust because the car being new i thought it was normal but over time was the same as changing all the exhaust system and followed the smell i realized it was something more, until one day i got home and turn off the car i saw white smoke coming out of the engine from the passenger side. That was when i began to do research and this forum helped me alot plus Google and FT-86 Speed Factory got a video on YouTube about the same issue. I put everything together found and fixed the problem and this was the result of my assignment putting all together with pictures, information to help others with the same issues and concerns. I hope this information was useful. See you guys around. Thanks

There's a TSB for this I think anyway my 2013 had this problem and the dealership fix it under warranty.

It'll most likely just start leaking again sooner or later. The Raceseng plate is a more premanent reliable fix.
