Burning oil and exhaust smell in cabin
progress
Wagonist
I know I've been burning oil but ever since I hollowed out my cat, I've been getting a burning oil and exhaust smell in the cabin while driving. Opening up the windows causes more smell unless the right combo of open windows and varying degrees of open is attained. Will a hollowed out cat cause the smell and/or do I have a massive leak in my engine? I'm using up about a quart of oil every 300 miles or so and it seems tcat as soon as I add oil and then drive, it will start burning right away. Blueish smoke comes out the exhaust when shifting/downshifting. Again, thanks in advance!

Ya, I checked my rear hatch gasket and thought it looked pretty good. The rear bottom right corner of the hatch has rusted through but is on the outside part of the gasket so I don't think that's the problem. I may be wrong though. I'm going to double check all the seals, doors, hood etc. My next question is the burning oil.
Jaker, we did replace the gaskets in front and behind the cat but thinking about it now, I don't remember buying and changing the one after the header or the one before the muffler, unless my dad did it. Thanks Jaker! That makes sense as it didn't smell (as bad) before we modified the cat.
