Default RE: weird smell coming from my vents!?

i've had vent smells from two sources.

the first is hitting the mud with the A/C on, which sucks alot of gunky water into the system and can stink for a good long while. Spray alot of lysol into the inlet while the A/C is running to fix that.

the second was the skid plate filling up with oil and grease from a blown part or 2, and the normal oil changes, which lent a bit of an oily/greasy shop kind of smell when the a/c was on. the fix for that is just cleaning things up.

i get oil spills - small amounts, but not nothing - from changes because i have a home-made skidder that doesn't let it all flow by. I got an H2O skid plate with some mods to make it fit from a friend who used to have an H2 not long ago, and that looks to be a better unit WRT changing oil.

What you are smelling is sulfur from your battery. You need to replace your battery.
