New condenser

Last fall when my condenser seized up Doug the mechanic just removed the damn thing and I didn't squawk. It was making a shearing metal sound and sure enough, there was a fan under my hood scraping shavings off of engine parts.
But now that summer approaches the car heats up fast, so we had to talk about putting an air conditioner in. And in fact the entire ventilation system was suspect from my point of view-- the car has been smelling like exhaust was coming in. I'd been getting a metallic taste in my mouth from riding in it. And with the little guy, I'd hate to take any chances with lead.
So I told Doug that in addition to the condenser job I'd like him to look at the whole ventilation system. He said that probably my air intake area was sucking in oil fumes from the engine so he cleaned the engine and sprayed an aerosol cleaner into my vents. He talked about replacing the valve cover gasket but decided against it. The car now smells perfumed... not too badly, but more than I like!
Guess I should get a picture of the clean engine!
