    Smell like exhaust after driving.

    I searched on the site before asking this question but I couldn't find the answer. Every single time I go for a drive in my Delorean I end up smelling like exhaust fumes. What could be causing this? I don't smell any exhaust when I'm driving.

    My VIN:    Banged your VIN'S mom

    I have had cars like that(67 Olds 442). Hated it, especially on date night. Just venturing a guess but on a D, my first guess would not be exhaust but be raw fuel getting into the cabin either from the fuel pump area through the ac vent intake or coming up from the fuel accumulator area.

    I have had a few older cars too and this was always the case. Hopefully I can figure it out and solve the problem. I'll check the two things you mentioned to start.

    My VIN:    10757 1st place Concourse 1998

    Can also be an exhaust leak or leaks. Does the motor sound noisy?
