For the past 3 weeks there has been an oily/gasoline-ish smell in the house. This smell is at intermittent times. I have walked around and smelled EVRYTHING and cannot locate the source of the smell. I have cleaned and scrubbed all possible offenders: fridge, oven, garbage disposal, garbage cans, recycling bin, floors, walls, etc.
It is July and HOT where I live which means the AC had been running constantly. There is no furnace at all, only a heat pump. I though maybe the ceiling fan motor was the culprit so I turned it off for a few days, still smell it.
Still smell it when trash can and recycling bins are outside.
I cannot find any leaks, inside or out. No wet wood anywhere. No dead animals.
I am not sure if it is plumbing, electrical, environmental. I am at a complete loss of who to even call.
