Stainless HEs ain't cheap either. The existing pipes would have to be awfully rusted to make it leak into the cabin air side. Maybe an exaust place can use a CO meter to test for leaks. The whole heat system just SMELLS, you know. Oil dripping from wherever seems to find its way into the heat exhanger part, that gets all heated up and cooked with whatever else might be in there. Have you tried just cleaning the ducting to the heater flapper valve bodies from the exchanger? All you need to get 'em out is eye gogles and a stubby flat head screwdriver.

I havent tried cleaning anything yet. I just read this last night about rusted exchangers and CO and got worried b/c my exchangers are original. However I dont really see and rust on them but the car does leak oil down onto them and them tend to smoke.
