What would be giving off such an unpleasant oil or exhaust smell. Hard to really say what exactly it is..Please advise

well there are few scenarios to unbearable smells coming into the cockpit or interior,
1. most common lately has been family or friends or trophy whom remains are left in the trunk
2. is coolant which when the heater core springs a leak it will really stink up the cockpit or interior
3. oil how ever external oil leaks seldom smell up the cockpit area
freon from the ac interior corresponding
burning catalytic converters will make bad smell like burning flesh
is there any new wet spots in the cockpit
