slight gas/oil smell after turning off the 240 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Vo on  Thu Dec 19 22:57 CST 2013 [RELATED]

Hey Brickers,

Just wondering if anyone might have any ideas/experience about a gas smell I've been experiencing.

After I park the car and get out, I get a whiff of gas - mostly near the driver side rear door. I have a small hole in my header pipe, so I'm wondering if it's some of the exhaust that hasn't gone through the catalytic converter collecting after pulling in a parking spot, shutting off the car, and the few moments before getting out.

I'm getting the cat and header pipe replaced next week. Just wondering if anyone might have other possible causes...

Thanks in advance...

Vo
