Primus Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yesterday had heater on full short two mile drive and got a very strong smell of popcorn? Tonight after 20 mile trip car had hot smell but could not find anything over heated? What should I be looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 This is your first post, so I will be easy on you. We need more info. Fill out your profile, year, make, model, what transmission do you have? Current mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sorry, 2002 legacy gt 2.5. Did not have smell today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Oil leak possibly. Even a minor leak will seap onto the header, and emit an odor. Its not serious, but when you turn the heat on, it will draw that scent directly into the cabin. Usually caused by old front seals or valve cover gaskets.

compsurge Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Could also be power steering fluid or coolant. Have you looked under the hood? Maybe someone had popcorn in your car before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
