Jbr occ hoses smell weird?
 

Ever since I installed the jbr catch can kit a month or so after the install it seams that the hoses are smelling really weird. Almost like oil.
I was just under there the other day doing my oil and poked around everywhere for leaks and nothing was to be found. With 23k miles there better not be any.
From above, the back of the engine smells like hot air, duh, perfect. The front however smells like the hoses/oil/rubber/something hot.
When I was under there changing my oil I put my nose right up to the hoses and its almost the smell exactly. Not the usual rubber hose smell for some reason.
I don't have a vta on the can itself and just emptied it and it still smells.

Any ideas? It wouldnt bother me so much if it didnt blow the smell in my face at red lights and waft around the outside of the car.

Hate to state the obvious but quit sniffin' hose and you'll be fine :naughty:

Sorry, couldn't resist! have you emptied the can out yet?

Yea I did this past weekend. It was full I think. That was 4k miles though I forgot I cant wait that long.

May have just gotten full and seeped a bit around the hoses. Try hitting them with some brake clean and see if the smell goes away in a few days.

Yea it was very full. Like dunkin dounuts medium coffee full. BUT like 1/8" water and 1/8" gas then condensed oil vapor. The oil happens but it's the low amount of gas thats reasuring... I hope.

Yea good idea ill clean the hoses off.

I'm also going to order a check valve for the hose before the can because currently it sees all boost pressure which would encourage any seeping situation.
I may have also been a derp and neglected to put the hose clamps on the barb fittings under the IM because it was cramped up there some vapor could be leaking there as well I cant remember grr.
