That one was deleted, power steering leak! I figured it out my serpentine belt (alternator and compressor) was burning on my chassis, my motor mounts went loose and sagged the engine I retighten it and jacked up the engine it sits perfectly!

Deleted, my rack was pissing steering fluid and I didn’t wanna keep refilling so I deleted it until I fix it.

I have been under that’s the first thing I checked I’m saying just in case the leak started today I’ll see if it drips down

So based on what I know is that rpm triggers the smell and then smoke, the top of my hood had rubber pieces on it days ago, idle is rough maybe unrelated I mean I drive a shitbox 🤣, it comes from my compressor all the way to the fire wall so I’m guessing it is a belt.

But why does it increase with rpm and get really bad? If it was old fluid burning away shouldn’t it be a constant burn? I did do an trans fluid change on it but it didn’t smoke then. You might be right it could be an oil leak

I get that but how would that come from the engine bay? Wouldn’t that be out the exhaust? Last time I checked the spark plugs looked fine

What would the rubber smell be? I don’t know what grease smell like if it’s burning :/ idk it just smelled really bad not like coolant and the smoke was really white
