if it's like rotten eggs then it's probably your catalic converter is clogged up that's the muffler looking thing closest to your engine

Well i just took it to a mechanic.... he said because i dont have my hatch interior in, i am creating a vacuum inside my car when the windows are down. All the small leaks around the rear lights and hatch are sucking in the fumes.

it seems to be legit because when i have my windows up.... no smell, or little smell
