    u could have exhaust leaks, it could be tiny be the smell is still strong.

    any speed hump can ding the pipe

    but the smell only gathers in the caben when im not driving, it has to sitting still for a fue hours. And when u open the door, u know about it, its very strong!!


    checked all lines on entry and return in the bay, no signes of a leak and no smell ether..... its very frustrating....
