Thumbs up i love teh smell of my chain saw!!!

so yeah...no cats = the great smell of the 2 stroke...lol
anyways besides the hatch and tail lights where else can i check for leaks that would cause it to leak into the cab???
i recently put s5 tails on it and the seals are good but it might be the case...dunno..sometimes it gets so bad i can taste the burnt oil an hour after i drive the car...
their are no rust holes of any sort under the car...just wondering if their could be other areas i could check...

the tailights would be the biggest culprit....other than an ehaust leak somewhere under the car, but usually any time there is an exhaust smell in the car while driving its blowing through the back somewhere...

at least aerodynamics dictate it so...

I would double check your taillight seals

I'd check your manifold. Could be leaking in the engine compartment for it to be so strong.
