funky smell.

recently got the fuel tank recall done as well had my steering rack replaced. i also asked the dealership to switch out the transmission fluid with new OEM stuff.

ever since then, the car smells like natural gas in the mornings or whenever it's parked for a couple of hours. it's not as pungent once the car gets moving, but you can still smell. i can't narrow down where the smell is coming from.

i remember reading somewhere that tranny fluid is also called skunk juice cuz it reeks...

i know it's not natural gas, but it's the only thing it reminds me of.

can anyone help? Thanks!
