Get your exhaust and manifold checked
for leaks properly. Check the end extends
out beyond the back of the car.

Hi, Are you sure it's exhaust? I recently had fumes in the car in the same way as you describe and it was a broken breather pipe to the right of the airbox. Just a thought.

It could also be a coolant leak. But make sure it not the exhaust before assuming its something less harmful.

whats the best way to check manifold exhauast quite new
where is the breather pipe

sorry to sound thick
but cars mechanics are a struggle to me

1 - Keep an eye on the coolant level if its dropping you have the culprit

2 - Breather pipe comes off the engine block to the throttle body. Do some searches on here and you'll find lots of stuff.

3 - If exhaust is new take it back and get the pro to check it. They will do this free and if it is leaking they are the best folks to fix it.

thanks guys will do
