Car has Corsa Catback.
This has happened 5-6 times over the life of the car. I will come to a stop and get a VERY distinct exhaust leak fume smell.
Usually, the windows are down or cracked and it dissipates very quickly, so that I can't tell if it is another vehicle around me or my vehicle.
Today, with the windows up, I came to a stop and the fumes flooded the cabin. Not that I couldn't see, but it was alarming. Car is running COMPLETELY normal. No idle issues, no CEL, normal temps, normal everything.
After I stopped and smelled the leak, I saw what looked like smoke trickling out from under the hood on the passenger side near the windshield. It only lasted a second. I pulled over to do a safety check, nothing.
No sign of a leak, no carbon, no real smell at all. However, hours later my interior still smells like an open header.
What are your thoughts? Is this a loose header bolt? I remember reading that they are not very tight from the factory.
Thanks!
