v70 odd fluid smell

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul on  Mon Sep 5 18:32 CST 2011 [RELATED]

Hello,

I have a 2006 V70, 2.5T w/ 45K miles. Slight hot fluid smell only apparent when hood is popped. Can't tell if its Mobil 1( switched to at 35k) or the power steering fluid (chf-11s). It shouldn't have leaks at this milage and I will monitor the oil level. I haven't done my own changes. Any chance splatter from the filler cap could create a lingering smell when hot ( for weeks after change)? There was also one occasion when the PS fluid level was low and I topped it off, but since this isn't ATF like the 850 had, I can't say what burning chf-11s smells like.

Thanks in advance.
