When the ac is on and I step on gas, I get a hint of burnt oil smell through the vents. Any ideas on what causes this?

So, my AC wasn't working on my 330xi-6MT. I tried recharging the system hoping I'd get lucky but, as usual, that didn't happen. Hoping to get the job turned around quick, I brought the car to my non-certified but beloved mechanic. Well, he found a leak in the evaporator, and he said so much work is involved in getting at it (pulling the dash apart) that he passed on even doing the job. Since I'd prefer to buy a new LSD for my ZHP with the money it'd take to have the dealership fix it, I say "Screw the AC!" The big question is, Should I remove the compressor and other AC-related components to lighten the load?

Removing the dash takes no time at all... you can have it out in an hour if you know what you're doing and two if you don't.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

You talked me into getting a second opinion from a local indy who is BMW-certified.

Is Pentosin MTF2 a good manual transmission fluid option for the Zhp?

IDK what causes it but my car gets that smell too...
Yea, nothing like walking into a client's office with a dress shirt that's completely soaked in the back with sweat.
