It is pretty humid out and foggy. Revved the car and exhaust coming out smells a bit like gasoline but normal. Placed my hand against the exhaust and is just steam. Everything seems normal now. I had my windows down when I first let the car idle so could’ve been the exhaust fumes coming inside?

Mine always smells.

Don't worry about it, fuel trims will figure it out.

Edit, nevermind read the other posts lol.

You can do a manual foamer. I used to use one when I lived in an apartment. I want to say it's the Gloria Foamy Clean 100 or something like that. Only down side is it will use a lot of product. I also didn't realize you should clean the nozzle after every use. Mine is now clogged. I left the different tips in a bottle of hydrogen peroxide for a couple of weeks now (keep forgetting to buy distilled vinegar, but just bought a bottle). Gonna see if it sprays well again, and if not, gonna leave it in some distilled vinegar. You'll get some triceps too from pumping the bottle. LOL

LMAO, I forgot I left a review of it. I was able to fix the issue by taking apart the whole handle part and seeing the gasket had slipped off.

Cows don't fart. I milked cows for 15 years back on the farm and I never heard or smelled a cow fart.

Not really worth posting in the technical section, but I installed a new reverse lockout to replace a super crusty stock one in the BRZ. Now the car is being weird when trying to get into 2/1. Messing with the reverse lockout plate seems to be making it better though, might need some more messing this afternoon.

Wait, so, I should be worried?

Well, mine smells because I've made modifications to my car...

If you smell gas in the cabin you might have a problem. I thought you just were running a bit rich for a bit and got a quick whiff of gas. I didn't see the earlier posts when I wrote that.

Ah, yes. I mean, my car does have some modifications, but I've never smelled gas.

On the other hand, I removed the rear seats and there was a small amount of mouse droppings, the foam on the seats was intact, the seal also clean, even the smaller rubber one where one of lines comes out of, clean. Im getting it towed anyways and have the dealership remove the cover and inspect.
