And I don't mean the cosmetic kind. She needs to have her nose removed. She says the TR3 still stinks of "gas". If some of you may remember I had a fuel leak a while back and (I think) I got that fixed up. It was leaking around the fittings at the fuel pump. I have gone over every inch of fuel line and everything is dry. I checked out the tank and it is in fabulous shape. No rust. No sign of fuel. I thought maybe the fuel was leaking when I pumped it and maybe getting in the trunk or the back seat area and I just don't think so. I have stuck my nose in just about every corner of this car and I cannot find any other leak.
On the other hand, I actaully agree with my wife, the car stinks. We just got back from a week vacation and the garage smells. Not real strong, and not necessarily fuel, but there is a definite odor. The car does leak quite a bit of oil, so I thought that the oil on the hot engine may cause a smell, but I think this should go away after the car cools. Like I said, we had been gone a week, so the car had been sitting all that time.
Any ideas where to check? I have told her that old British cars will have a bit of an odor, but I am feeling like I am missing something.
Any help or prior experience with a stinky TR would be helpful.
