Car Smells

your heater core is leaking anti-freeeze.

Mrs. Buttersworth is paying you back for years of pouring too much syrup on your pancakes!

it means you have a collant leak (anti-freeze) of some kind start with water pump.

sounds like you use a bad mechanic a good mechanic would replace a cracked exhaust manifold to start with if you can smell gas,there is obvioulsy a leak in the fuel system. this needs to be found as it is a fire hazard

Rubber, you are moving too fast

Should be located in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose Drain about 1 gallon of coolant from radiator

Remove housing

Make note how thermostat is installed

Clean both surfaces

Replace thermostat and gasket

Re-fill coolant slowly to prevent an air lock

Start engine and look for leaks

Run engine to normal operating temperature with heater on

Re-check coolant level

if its a rotten egg smell its probably the cat if its loud volume look for a blown gasket or a hole in the pipes

Purchase a Purolator Cabin Filter. It comes with complete directions.

throw them out

no they don't leak unless you have a bad connection at the line. If you have any doubts about it being clogged just change it. they only cost a few dollars and almost always make your car run a little better!

There is probably a fuel leak somewhere. You should have a professional check it out ASAP. There is a possibility of a fire if left alone.

like the outdoors and dirt

More than a handful is more fun.

Anything softball sized or bigger is excellent.

if a small gasket crack is suspected then it may be possible to fix by using

a bottle of Bar's Head Gasket Repair. It is a permanent repair and only costs

around $10-$12. Much easier than breaking down to the head gasket.

If you smell fumes, you should get out of the room, car, or house. Opening windows will help get rid of the smell.

every body

You need a special tester called a block check. You fill it with a special fluid and then

use it to suck fumes out of the radiator . if the fluid turns yellow it means there is exhaust gasses in the coolant.

You may be burning oil.

EDIT: This is a very vague question. Did you recently get exhaust work done? if not, you should first check to see if there are any lights on the dashboard that have recently come on. If not, check your spark plugs for wear. Any unburned fuel exiting the engine will pool in your catalytic converter and cause a chemical reaction to the platinum catalyst, which in turn will cause it to become VERY HOT. (when I say very hot, i mean White HOT.)

so, to follow up. Exhaust work will leave a burning smell from gasket sealer as it heats up for a couple of weeks following. If there are lights on the dashboard, it means that one of the O2 sensors has malfunctioned and you are not getting a correct mixture of oxygen and fuel in the engine for combustion. If there are no lights on and your spark plugs are worn and burned, it means that escaping unburned fuel on the exhaust stroke of the engine is causing the catalytic converter to become overheated. Other than that. I will need more information. Hope this helps.

A leak could potential cause the issue you describe and still keep the engine from overheating. I would suggest having the cooling system pressure tested for leaks and having any leaks repaired.

Check your Serpentine Belt and pulleys. The Serpentine Belt maybe in need of replacement.

Cats spraying your car with urine.

The timing may be off, have it checked at a mechanic
