A Georgia performance shop, Velocity Motorsports, found a Ford Mustang's burning oil smell came from leaking axle seals, not a faulty valve cover as a dealership had diagnosed.
A mechanic at Velocity Motorsports inspected the vehicle and said there was "not a drop of oil" on the valve cover or the sensor, contradicting the dealership's chain-reaction diagnosis that linked the leak to a sensor fault and warning light.
The Velocity Motorsports mechanic traced the fluid on the Mustang to seals near the axle, which can allow oil to contact hot components and cause a burning smell but requires different repairs than the dealership's $2,800 estimate; the Facebook Reel has more than 320,000 views.
