Gas/Exhaust Smell in cabin

Hello,

Just like the title says, when I am driving, I get a strong gas and/or exhaust smell in the cabin. This some sort of exhaust smell common on these, or is it indicative of a problem?

Problem. You have a leak under the hood, usually. It comes in through the vents at the base of the windshield. Is it worse at low speeds?

I havent driven it at highway speeds yet,, no more than 35-40 mph, but it isn't as noticeable at idle as at driving speeds it seems.

When you're driving, the fume are coming back to the vents. Idling and not moving, the fumes go straight up. Do the fume smell like gasoline or exhaust? You probably have an exhaust leak at the manifolds.
