For some odd reason my cockpit smells like... ?propane? when my car is on. The smell goes away when I turn it off... I can't smell it on the freeway, but then again thats probably cause I am moving so fast.

Could this smell be due to an exhaust leak somewhere in my 16 year old pipes?~Nick

Did you do an engine swap and remove your charcoal canister?

Nope, I did neither of those things; the most recent thing I have done is put sea foam in my oil and then change the oil after it sat for a while. I did run the engine with the sea foam in it though.

This methonal/propane smell does worry me though, and I wonder if anyone knows what it may be...~Nick
