My daughter's car sometimes has a very strong smell of burnt rubber and fuel in the interior of the car. This smell is not noticable outside of the car. There also seems to be excessive water coming from the tail pipe. This water is clear but alot for condensation. Please let me know what the possible causes could be before I take it into the repair shop. Thank you

As long as there is no smoke coming from the tail pipe when the engine is up to temperature, the water from the tail pipe is normal. This is condinsation from the cooling process of the engine.
The burnt rubber and fuel smell can be serious and should be fixed asap. If a fuel line is burnt through the obvious can happen -- fire. If it is something like a rubber hose or something rubber burning then the fumes can be toxic.
