Oil in the heater boxes.

The only fix is new heater boxed or take your old ones off and get them
"dipped" at your local machine shop.

Subject: heater question (bad interior smells)

sorry, forgot to put the subject in on that last email...
I had previously posted a problem with my interior smelling like exhaust.
Well I got it partially fixed. At the time I had a small oil leak and it was
collecting on a hot surface and causing bad smells in the cabin. Well I got
the oil leak fixed and that fixed the problem, partially. Back then it was
warm outside and so I hadn't been using the heater. Now that the snow is
falling, I am noticing that as soon as I turn the heater on, the bad smells
start coming in again. I am not mechaniclaly inclined but I did get a
bentley and if it is just an unconnected hose or something i could probably
handle it. any suggestions? Another thing I noticed is that no matter what i
do with the heater levers, the air coming out of the defrost vents by the
windshield is always cold. That is not how it should be is it? it's an air
cooled 83 westy.Thanks,Gordy
