Just trying to help a mate out here.
He has a Impreza WRX

His car has been parked up for a few months and on driving it its got a funny smell to the engine. The intercooler is staying stone cold and the Turbo is very hot.

Any pointers or somewhere to start off in fixing this issue will be greatly appreciated. I've had a look on google for some fault finders and none of them include the above issues.

(personally I have very little car knowlage, but my mate knows what he is on about - just doesn't have a pc to ask people on!)

Cheers, Floyd
 
Turbo's get hot...that's how they work. An intercooler is also meant to stay cool during normal use. Apart from the smell, is there any running problems? Just what does the smell, smell like?
