afternoon guys i hope someone can help
heres a little background of the car
last year i purchased a saab 9-3 convertible shortly after having it the turbo blew so i replaced the turbo droped the pan cleaned the oil strainer and fitted the new crankshaft ventilation kit new oil filter and plugs and filled with mobil 1 fully synthetic (whilst checking for sludge i found very little and the strainer was pretty good compared to some)
after a few day i noticed a spray of oil at the back of the engine luckily it was only a hose that connects onto the oil trap so a simple jubilee clip sorted that problem out with no oil at the back of the engine anymore
what i am experiencing is a smell of oil in the cabin ?
also my biggest fear is when checking the oil pretty frequently now a days' i'm seeing gunge at the bottom and sides of the dipstick and the oil level has dropped wheres it going theres no patches on the road and i cant see anything around the engine bay
any help would be gladly received
