Interior Smells
The interior of my car stinks. Probably exhaust? Not like the smell coming out of my muffler. The only thing I can compare it to is unburned propane. I definitly have an exhaust leak but have not traced it yet. If exhaust is getting in he car...is it most likely from the engine compartment going through the ventilation? Or would it travel up through the floors? I haven't driven with the windows closed yet...am I gonna pass out behind the wheel from CO poisoning?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I had a truck that was like that it had a cracked Heater core
But you said you do have an exhaust leak, it could be getting in through a hole in the flour as well so take a good look at the flour, and check tail light seals and rear hatch and door seals as well.
good luck

My car smells. . . . like a car. Has that. . . . car smell. When I first got it, it also smelled like alchohol and marijuanna. I just HAD to rescue her from that fool (at the request of the original owner )

My old '81 used to give me headaches from exhaust leaks, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I re-sealed the tail lights. Voila, problem solved. My '79 gives me a whiff of super-rich-open-exhaust every so often, but only when my window is down.
