When Your Car Starts Smelling Strange, Pay Attention

A strange smell inside or around your car is rarely just an annoying odour. Musty air, burning rubber, rotten eggs, gasoline, or a sweet chemical smell can each point toward a very different problem, from trapped moisture and coolant leaks to brake, exhaust, fuel, or electrical issues. Your nose can sometimes notice trouble before a warning light appears. Before you reach for an air freshener, it is worth finding out what your car is actually trying to tell you.
