Seriously, I KNOW I didn't forget how to do an Oilchange...

I just did my (self performed) oilchange on my 02. All the others were done by the dealer. My question is, I've put about 100 miles on the truck, and the truck still reeks like spilled oil/vapors. But, there was not any oil spilled, and non is leaking. I did the vapor bottle re-location when i bought the truck, and I can't think of anything that would have caused this problem. No leaks anywhere, and the truck isn't low on oil. The crank case was emptied and the filter was replaced...

Any idea?

Corey
