For a little while now I have had a smoke/exhaust smell that filters from the engine through the vents to the inside of the car (when they are open it is much stronger). This is a legacy outback. I know I need to get someone to look at the engine, but are there any filters for ventilation into the car that would help as well. The car has been running fine other than that.

Hi there,

You may have an exhaust leak or an oil leak onto the exhaust, and this smell is entering the cabin, have the engine checked for these leaks first
