It's impossible to resist a smell of a new auto with brand new jaguar alloys. Somehow the leather and plastic mix together to make an attractive fragrance. And of course, eventually, many of us get air fresheners to make it smell like vanilla or melons. This all is great because people have their own likes and dislikes. But, what happens if you start to notice an odd smell in your car. In this article, we will take a look at just what certain smells could indicate for your vehicle.

One prevalent strange smell is something that is a sickly sweet smell. Should you have this smell, it might suggest that you have a leak in your coolant system. Despite the fact this is often a tiny leak, it is something you will want to get fixed right away before it causes other troubles. You may also discover an odor that is very strong. When you have this strong odor, it may possibly mean that the heater core is leaking within your car. Again this is something you need to have fixed immediately as the fumes are not good for you to be breathing in and the lack of coolant can lead to other issues.

You may also notice that you are able to smell the exhaust in the car. It isn't really normal and usually suggests that you have a problem somewhere in your exhaust system. And when the smell is really terrible it could also mean that your doors are not closing properly or you may have rusted out holes in your floorboards. Breathing the exhaust is not good for your state of health at all so you will need to have this checked and fixed immediately.

Something that happened to me earlier is that I went to the gas station and filled up and as soon as I left the station I still smelled gas. I did not think one thing of it however the next day, I really could still smell gas in my car. I had the car checked out and they detected a small leak on the top portion of my gas tank. It is probably the most dangerous smell since just about any trigger could blow up the entire car and kill someone. Not a single thing is more terrifying when compared to your fuel tank catching on fire. Therefore if you ever smell gas, get your car to a auto mechanic immediately.

Last but not least, you may notice a rotten egg smell. It is in all probability that the odor is caused by a stopped up catalytic converter. At this point lacking the proper exhaust you may wind up doing more damage to your car. Therefore you will also need to get this fixed the instant you can.

You may end up smelling some other unexpected odors. So you would be wise to have your car looked at to be sure everything is running fine.
