Sniff Out Car Engine Troubles
Your nose should be your first line of defense when it comes to car troubles.If you smell:
-exhaust fumes. This is usually a sign that something in your exhaust system – your muffler, tailpipe, exhaust manifold – is cracked, disconnected or has a hole in it. It also means you’re breathing in exhaust fumes, which can be lethal. Get this checked out immediately.
-sweet. A sweet aroma could be an antifreeze leak. Check your radiator and related cooling hoses.
-sulfur. The smell of rotten eggs could mean an emissions system problem.
-burning plastic/rubber. This could be a problem with overheating wiring.
