Smells

[EllenO]

Thank you to all who responded. I think I can rule out something dead. It doesn't have that kind of smell and only smells when running. 

I put my finger in the exhaust and it came out black. Is that necessarily evidence of the problem or do they run richer in winter? 

Right now, I'm sitting in the car warming it up and to me, it smells like gas. I drove a short distance, left it parked running for a few minutes. It didn't smell as bad as other times, but I noticed a small puddle of water? on the ground under the tailpipe. 

In general, it wasn't really bad today. Definitely not a rotten egg smell. 

I will continue to look into some of your suggestions. Unfortunately, the weather on the east coast is not cooperating with outdoor activities.
