I went to check my oil levels today and found this...

The thing that scares me the most is that the little grey/black bits appear to be chewed up insulation I hope they are not living inside the car somewhere. What do you guys think i should do ?

wow this is the most bizarre post i've seen on myg37....

first of all are u BSing?

if not i guess...

put some rat poison on some nuts and put em in those areas an if u find some dead squirrels u may be right...try garaging the car if u can...

unfortunately it is true Its only the second time I had opened my hood and I was seriously shocked! I even showed the gas station attendant and he was shocked too.

I can't garage my car at my current place. Its strange I have lived there for almost 8 years, same exact parking spot and never had this problem with my old car. I've had the new car like 3 months and the freaking wildlife moves in. Im not even really in the country (Fairfax county, about 20 minutes from washington DC).

Leave a bit of coolant on the driveway and hope they ingest some.

Park it somewhere else for awhile until they forget it's a nut hideout. They will eat your wires soon....and that will really suck. I know you are not BSing as I have seen a car practically stripped inside from squirrels.

Smart animals. They're insulating their nuts. LOL!!!

But seriously man, I would call animal control for advice.

, they would probably fry in the engine bay anyways.

Not fry, maybe baked or steamed. But then again, they're probably smart enough to get out of there when the car engine turns on.

DO NOT TRY to make one a pet unless you got your rabies shot already. Otherwise, let 'em at it.

You may want to find another way to keep their nuts warm!

The only answer appears to be either trapping, or this - http://www.critter-repellent.com/squ...or-vehicle.php (fox urine granules)
