There is a very bad smell when accelerating coming inside. Smells like exhaust emissions in combination with burned oil.

It sounds like you have valve cover gaskets that are leaking. Do you see smoke from under the hood? Also, do you have any exhaust leaks?
Please let us know.
Cheers, Ken

Thanks for the quick reply and the information sent. Yes, I see oil on top of gasket. I will order the gasket kit and replace it.
