My 1.6 VTI has been experiencing a burning oil smell and light smoke coming from the hood for some time. When I check the oil level after it's been parked for a few hours, it appears to have leaked oil. The gauges are at normal temperature while driving. After the "check the oil level" warning, I poured in 1 liter of 5w30, and the warning stopped. I replace the seals every time it's serviced because it leaks oil from both sides, but this is the first time I've experienced this problem. Where could the leak be? How can I fix it? What is the estimated cost? Bayer2025-05-18 01:09:01
