Why would your oil smell like gas in a 2004 dodge neon?
That means gas is getting in the oil. Many things cause this i.e. hard starting/leaky or dirty fuel injectors. The fuel that is being called from the tank will go past the combustion chamber into the oil if flooded. A tuneup may help this. Whenever your oil smells like gas, change the oil as soon as possible because the gas in the oil can do damage over time to some major internal engine components.
Why is oil pooling in the spark plug chamber?
REplace the valve cover and tube seals problem solved make sure to repkace the plugs and wires also
You may have a leak in the radiator or radiator hoses, but first check to see if the drain plug under the radiator is tight. have you checked your coolant lines to and from engine and rad?
Good place to start, however... Most vehicles emit more coolant as they cool.Most conjoined parts made of dissimilar materials cool/contract at different rates, therefore becoming leak prone. Sometimesthey may not leak until the car is almost completely cool and then seal back up when it begins to warm after running for a few minutes. Sometimes what happens is you will get a collection of coolant(aka antifreeze)in an area overnight and when the vehicle is started and begins to warm, the coolant stops leaking, what is there burns off (hence the smell) and then the whole cycle begins itself when the vehicle is parked again. If you provide the vehicle make/model I may be able to pinpoint it a little better for you.
if your vehicle has air conditioning the smell could be caused by build up of bacteria on the heater matrix and in the vents, as this bacteria decays it causes a smell inside the cabin, this can be resolved by purchasing air specialist air con cleaner the is sprayed into the sir vents. the smell can also be caused by the heating of leaking coolant from the heater matrix, this would also combined with the car steaming up, check the coolant level to see if it has dropped. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=S001&UserAction=viewSimpleDiagInfo&Parameters=info answer can also be caused by moisture getting into carpets etc, in the winter months, like snow on your shoes or just water. this will fet into under felt under carpet. a good airing out in a warm garage or a nice sunny day wit all windows and oors open will generally fix this
Chi Silk Infusion can be used on wet or dry hair. I would suggest using it on wet hair before you use your blow dryer to smooth, soften and relax your hair before you blow dry. Then when hair is 100% dry, use your flat iron to straighten your hair. Your hair should already be protected from applying the Silk Infusion earlier.
Then after you straighten, you can use a tiny bit more silk infusion to smooth the style and eliminate any fly-aways. If you want to use a product while you straighten, I'd suggest trying a thermal protecting spray like CHI 44 Iron Guard.
that's what i use it works really well!!!!!!!!
