Fume smell in cabin?

[dannybz]

I have noticed a fumey smell in the cabin and it's giving my a headache after about 20 mins of driving!

 

Does anybody have any clue what this might be?

 

I've just had it back from getting a a clutch and flywheel change.

When the car is idling get a torch and some paper towel, pop the bonnet and check the fuel rail isn't leaking.

At least visually check it first.

(obviously there are other areas it could be)

Manifold/exhaust joints, fuel lines

 

If you've just had cluch done they will have taken part of the exhaust off so my guess is that

Exhaust leak more than likely.

I had that horrible smell in my last Z, Nissan replaced the clutch, my car only had 4500 on the clock.

I have had a similar smell in my new Z i could only put that down to riding the clutch on a hill start.

Good point about the exhaust guys (especially as it's only just happened).

It's worth having gasket sealant on the y-pipe connections. Also whilst it's idling you can get your hand near the connections to feel air/gas if it's leaking there. On my one you could see it dripping prior to having some sealant on it
