Because of the exhaust smell, I have to drive with the windows wide open in summer and winter. The smell gives me a headache and makes my eyes very blood shot. Smell does not go away when I turn off all ventalation. However, when I put on the air conditioning - it minimizes the exhaust smell.

I have white paper under the front part of my car. The leak is a pinkish color.

I need to drive this car for 18 more months before purchasing a new car.

Please help.

Thank you!

You should have the exhaust sytem inspected at a shop, and the pinkish fluid is transmission fluid, could be a cooler line, or a rusted drain pan at the bottom of the transmission, have that looked at too. Both are easy to find, and will cost less now, rather than being stranded on the road!
