Hi paul,

I had noticed an oily smell from the car's exhaust and when checking out the chamber under the belows and the bellows itself noticed that both were considerably oily inside . I had only cleaned both back late last year.

My assumption was that ( and I stand to be corrected) that after 20years the oil-trap was passing oil into the chamber as its the only route I could think off for this to happen.

Will check in about a month and let you know if this has alleviated the problem or not.

regards

brendan
