Hello,
Being a first-time Subaru owner, I have no idea if this is normal. When parked overnight and I enter my garage from the house, where my Ascent is parked, I note a distinct oil/gas odor emanating from under the hood of this car. Now, it's not that significant and I don't see any evidence of oil leaks from above (haven't checked below). Checking and smelling the oil on the dipstick, I can pick up a hint of gas odor in the oil. I wonder if this is normal for boxer engines or if this is something I should have looked at.
Thanks!
