Exhaust fumes entering cabin while stationary
Moderator: RichardW
Well, just been under the C5 bonnet with a torch. Oil in all the bolt slots for the rocker cover by the bulkhead. I cleaned up and tightened the bolts a little but still smoke coming out in the torch light so I assume the gasket in knackered!
The amount of fumes / oil whatever on the inside of the bonnet turned my hair back to black. Looked much better for a few mins

I've been meaning to post this query for some time and it kinda fits in here I guess.
Ever since I have had the car (18 months now) I get fumes in the car if the window or sunroof are open. Doesn't matter which window. Its only in certain conditions i.e. running at 30mph-ish or less. Its really bloody annoying. If I have the sunroof and a window open it is less noticeable, but still there.
Is this common for a Mk1 Xant or is there a particular problem with mine?

Been under the bonnet and fitted a new gasket £6.20 not bad. The old one looked a bit knackered in places. Also noticed a breather pipe under the plastic cover and not 100% sure if this was connected - it is now. Been for a quick drive and didn't notice the smell. Fingers crossed for the drive to work tomorrow
