2 issues: Passenger side rattle / "burnt smell"
Hi SRT-6 enthusiasts,
Here are two issues I am clueless of and would like to hear your thoughts on this:
1st issue: When starting, engine cold, I can hear a faint rattle coming from passenger side in engine bay. I have changed oil 3 weeks ago, heard the rattling before and thought the oil change would cure it. But no luck there. I do not see any leaking from valve covers on this side.
2nd issue:
I can somewhat smell a kind of burnt smell in engine bay. Located somewhere frontish in engine bay. Almost as if the generator had some issues.
I can see some evidence of leaking oil from lower valve cover gasket on driver side, and could see some oil having dripped down on power steering pump or what else is sitting below. Could this be what is generating the smell? It smells almost electrical, as of something is burnt. Like when u played with electrical cars / motors as a kid.
Most appreciated if you could take the time and help me out.
