It’s been pretty chilly in the mornings here 20-30 degrees. This morning I remote started the truck and initially noticed a oil/fuel-ish smell coming from the exhaust. The smell tends to wear off, the truck runs and idles fine. I have noticed some slight rocker noise “ticking” at times but could also be a small exhaust leak coming from one of the 300 lap joints holding the exhaust together. I main run E85 in the truck and just drained the catch can which was about half full and smells exactly like whats coming from the exhaust… any ideas, should I be concerned?
