Hello
Recently whenever I used my AC in my 2004 I am smelling an oil. I know I recently had an oil change, is it possible they spilt some where the air intake is and that's all I'm smelling?
I don't smell it when I press the circulate button, or MAX AC.
The AC isn't working it's best, either. After a while it just starts to blow humid air.
Thanks!

That's the cold part in your dash if the coil is bad some ac oil will come out with the charge . You may not notice it when on max because of more volume of air . Your outside intake air is right there where wipers are at so yes if someone sets oil up there or spills it it could do that . You can wash that area out with dawn . Some engine smells come into cabin thru this intake . If you have a loose plug you can smell gas from the blowby .
Once the charge is too low the ac clutch will not click on . So watch your clutch on compressor and see if it is coming on and off .
On recirculate --outside air is not used . Sounds to me like you may need some ac work done .
