What's that smell?

[bluetick]

When my 06 LIbby is at temp, it starts to smell like overheated rubber -- not burning rubber - just hot rubber. Any thoughts? Doesn't seem to matter whether the heater is on or off. Any thoughts?

Check the passenger side valve cover at the outside back corner. They often leak there and drip down on the exhaust. Cause all sorts of weird smells.

Yup^ leaky valve cover gaskets with oil dripping down is common there.

valve cover gasket.

I took a paper towel & doubled it up.
After it had cooled down a bit, wrapped paper towel around the the bottom of the valve cover, close to the firewall, passenger side.
Yup looks like I had a leak...

check your fan belt idler pully & tensioners for a problem.

but be careful, there might be a gimp wearing latex & a gas mask hiding in your engine compartment

Burnt rubber /bad belt/pulleys sounds possible...
The rest is kinda freaky though..

If you order the felpro set it will include both L&R side gaskets & grommets. Drivers side is left.

got snow last night which drifted under the jeep. This morning I noticed a yellowish spot from a leak.
