Default do you smell like exhaust?

every damn time i get out of my car i reak of exhaust. i cant figure out why i thought it was because of a small fuel leak i found but nope...then i thought it was because my oil pan gasket was leaking but nope... there arent any holes that arent pluged up in my fire wall and i have full exhaust with nothing more than 3 pin hole leaks and 1 in my charge piping if you cured your car doing it post up!

I stunk like it after a night of driving, car was open DP though. I think you'd need a sizable leak in order to smell like it.

i freakin wish! id run it inside my car if it did. hell id settle for 93 premix haha naah im running full exhaust all the way out the back. the small holes are behind the seats so i dont figure tahts what it is? i did notice that im pushing oil into my charge pipes and i kinda wonder if that doesnt have something to do with it i found another smalllllllll water leak tonight i have a cracked T for one of my heater hoses so that could also have something to do with it. ill let yall know what i come up with i just wanted to make sure i wasnt the only one. ill have some pics up of my homemade restrictor valve too
