Update just been for a blast as soon as i pulled up on my drive i jumped out of the car and can smell the same smell outside the car for about 10 seconds but not long enough to pinpoint where it comes from so the smell is getting dragged into the vents from the outside. It just smells like gas that we use in our homes. Am i going 🤪

i think you need to get under the car as soon as you stop to observe any thing that might indicate where the smell is being created. are you losing any fluids at all? oil trans or coolant is there anything stuck on the exhaust pipe or maybe a exhaust repair done with some kind of compound.

No fluid loss at all everything is perfect with levels. No repairs done to the exhaust while i have owned it. Had it 3 years now and this is baffling me. I will try get straight under after i stop.
