Rear high mount taillight replacement NOT the worst..

[powershift]

Mine leaks a bit into the cabin during very heavy rain

I’ll probably try to reseal it before I replace it

I have a couple leaks in back on my LR4, a drip down the rear hatch window in monsoons. Another clue of a problem is at WOT and when the 5.0L starts omitting a viscous growl tone in the mid to upper power band, if the air is just right and its giving all it has, I smell exhaust. It gets in the cab and I think the smell is coming in from behind the SUV and not in front where the engine is like I had thought.

But today I had it WOT and passed 2 simi trucks and trailers with a car in-between and it was fine. I've forgotten all about it until now. Maybe the exhaust is coming in from the tail light. I'm curious about how re-sealing would work? In the pics I've seen the lens gets destroyed in order to get at the seal.

The drips are from the tail light.

Check your valve covers for leaks. It’s probably oil burning off the exhaust manifold when they get really hot, the smell is most noticeable after spirited driving. Sometimes you’ll see smoking if it gets really bad. Mine does it pretty badly I’m doing mine this summer.
