I figured I might as well ask about this recent problem I've been having. Occasionally, I am a bit heavy on the peddle when merging onto the highway, and I will get this odor in the car for a little while afterwards. It smells like I'm riding with a gassy person. Could this be an exhaust leak? Here is some other info that might be related:
During the past year, I have noticed that my engine is louder. It's not sounding like a motorcycle yet... It just sounds more like I am driving the new Celica GTS (I wish) than a Camry. My mechanic did a quick look over my exhaust system and noticed nothing obvious (except there is some rust in the joints). The muffler is stainless steal, it's original, but doesn't look rusted yet.
I just want to make sure that that it isn't something burning up. I really want this car to last another year so I can save up for a house down payment. Blowing something expensive like a tranny would be a problem.
