whenever i accellerate hard i can smell burning wd-40 ( thats what it smells like) but im not sure what it really is. could it be my new exhaust burning oil off of the pipes, or exhaust leaks ( i do have a couple leaks under the trunk) anyway the car is a 89 cutlass supreme sl w/ 3.1

i found the problem. thanks for all your input though. :D you will probably laugh, but i found a ghetto exhaust patch for small leaks (temporary) steel wool and a hose clamp. now i know steel wool can ignite but where i use it i dont think it gets hot enough, since i can touch the pipe after a good drive and not get burnt. well while i was searching my garage for steel wool i accidentally grabbed a brillo pad :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: i was in such a hurry to patch that leak i didnt even check to see what i had. well it patched the leak but under heavy accellaration exhaust was forced around the pad and somehow got in my car. i felt like a ratard when i got under my car and found a brillo pad but thats what it was
