Just got my s13 fixed after driving it for a while i noticed a mild smell of i think oil burning... i look at the temp guage and its only midway so i assume its not overheating. its is pretty cold out cause its late and i noticed that the lower part of my windshield is a lil foggy im guessing from the heat of the motor. umm any ideas what this can be?

while the the eng was in the shop there was an oil leak in the eng pan which the mech fixed and he said it might be the oul resedue thats burning and should be normal? is he right?

thank s alot

Well that fog on your windshield is condensation, it happens when its warmer in the car and colder outside. I know, funny how that works. Yes, the smell may or may not be a small oil leak burning. You can usually unlatch a hood on most cars, then you can look at the motor (the thing that in the middle) look for leaks around your valve cover, head etc maybe you can find it.

Good luck BRUH
