Hi everyone. I have recently been experiencing and strange chemical type odor(not antifreeze) and some smoke coming from the very front edge of the dash at the windshield. This only happens when I am towing a heavy load and going uphill for the most part. No change in engine temp or performance...

Just wanting to know if a fuel odor outside mostly on the passenger side is normal. When I park and turn off the truck my wife notices the fuel smell on her side once she steps out. I've never owned a diesel and have a lot to learn.

MY 03 7.3 HAS FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE TURBO AND ITS DRIPPING ON THE BLOCK AND PUDDLING UP THERE...IT HAS A SCENT KINDA LIKE DIESEL BUT ITS LIKE LIME GREEN COLOR...WHEN I START MY TRUCK UP I CAN EVEN SMELL THE SCENT....HMMM YES IM A NOOB BUT I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OFFERED! THANKS
