Okay so the saturday of Route 66. I woke up for the drive to find a new smell in my car. Wasn't to bad that day but has gotten progressively worse. I can't find the son of bitch anywhere. Try following my nose & that doesn't work. I cannot pinpoint where the smell is coming from. I've left the top off my car & the windows down in my garage. Figured eventually the decomp would be done. Trying to air it out & it does not seem to be getting any better. I've even had my kids come out to smell & try to find the source. I've taken a mini camera deal to get into all the places I can't see. I've found nothing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I've looked under the seats, behind the backpad, in my vents, in the tubes in the long, under the dash, in both trunks, all around the gas tank. I'm at a loss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . When the smell is obvious & when driving it circulates the air making it worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Looking for ideas to find it. I'm not going to smell that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) going to WCR & back

It was definitely in the passenger long heater tube. Of course that was the one that had a cap welded over it. Pain in the ass to get at. I was able to barely get in there with my drill. Drilled a 3/4" hole as that was the biggest metal bit I had. Pulled the bit out & it was packed with shit. The hole was instantly covered with the sludge. I don't know what the hell it was. The fluid/gunk in there was just so nasty. Had a hard time not puking. The picture below is after I had drilled a couple holes. Then used a pipe to make a big enough hole to get my shop vac hose in there. So this pic is after I had vacuumed what I could. That shit you see in there was completely packed in the tube (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
