WARNING!! You have an exhaust leak, which is extremely dangerous. Failure to repair this may cause you to die in an auto accident after you pass out from the Carbon Monoxide, entering your vehicle. Have you exhaust system inspected ASAP.

Question is should you be driving a car with an exhaust leak? Get this repaired ASAP. It is very dangerous to drive a vehicle with an exhaust leak. Carbon Monoxide is a odorless, tasteless, killer even in small amounts. It will leak into your car, and put you too sleep. After the leak is repaired the question becomes mute.

How do you get the smell of exhaust from coming into 2002 jaguar xk8 when being driven?

There are two reasons for exhaust fumes coming into anycar. 1.. a leak in the pipery anywhere between the engine manifold and the last box on the system 2. a too-short tailpipe so the gas is not ejected clear of the car. In both cases there is a high danger of occupants being poisoned by carbon monoxide. This car should be even more dangerous if stopped in traffic. The fact that the exhaust gases can be smelt while driving suggests a possibility of a leak near the engine end being sucked into the car's air-conditioning or fresh air equipment

A leak in an exhaust manifold will be very loud. The car may also experience issues stalling or running to lean since the oxygen sensor readings will be off.
