I own a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab. This is my son's truck and is not driven very much. The last two times after it sat for about 4-6weeks I am seeing smoke come inbetween the inside of the windshield dash that is up next to the window.

A clue may be that there also oil that appears to be coming out a rectangular tube on the passenger side near the middle of the truck. Near the middle of your left shin if you were sitting in the passenger side.

This smells like burning engine oil. Otherwise truck runs great.

The heat has been on.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
