Hi all,

Just wondering if I can get some insight into a problem that has developed
with my 03 Vibe GT. Let me start by saying that I have never had any issues
with the vehicle right up to 100K. The car was due for an oil change just
after it turned the century mark. I took it to a local Monro Brake and
Exhaust franchise. This was the first time they had done an oil change for
since since the vehicle hit 50k. From the moment I drove the car away, I
have had an oil odor coming from my air vents. I initially thought they may
have simply dripped some oil onto the engine and it would just burn off. It
has now been 3000 miles and the odor persists. I check ed the drain plug and
filter and they are both dry. There is also no leak that I can see (nothing
under the car after its parked). It smells like a crankcase odor and was not
there before the oil change. Is there anything I should be considering as
the culprit?

Thanks in advance for any info

I am due for another oil change this weekend. I am going to take it back to
them and mention the odor. I was leaning towards the PCV myself.

Thanks
