Does anyone know what could cause my XC to emitt an odor like oil or gear fluid when parked in the garage? This after driving it for 30 minutes or so. It seems to be really noticable after being driven in the snow. I figured it's something to do with the AWD but does this mean the car is low on gearbox oil?
