ISPY UNKNOWN DRY OIL SMELL ISSUE???
I smell every now and then a dry oil, hot antifreeze kind of smell, but it also smell kinda of like a burning paste, sealant, rubber.
There is also weird glue paste sealant stuff on one of my under body pipes that actually does get hot when driving, cause that's what pipes do...
2000 C230KOMPRESSOR
( Can provide clean pictures of any part.)
No milky resevoir, no random smoke, all pulleys turning except my AC sadly.
Drives normal except for the loss of power which I'm sure my MAF is the cause of, as it only happens after long excesive driving.
Radiator hoses are soft and not hard. Engine doesn't shake and seems normal. Under hood looks normal. No difference in exhaust smoke.
Random low coolant light every now and then, when I drive its gone.
Let's play ISPY THE PROBLEM.

I've came to a subconclusion it can't be a cracked block, it can't be a blown head, and it can't be a bad water pump, I'm honestly thinking it might be the glue paste stuff on my pipe burning, but then again the smell is a little chemically.

Alot of guessing. Any CEL, scanned for any saved codes?
Any oil film in the MAF, the lines or the air filter box?
Have you checked to see if your oil separator is still working correctly?
