Engine had leaking seals which caused exhaust manifold to leak. Fumes would come from blower (defroster) when it was turned on. There was an electrical short in engine. Also, windshield wipers were erratic & would come on or off by themselves, and having a lot of problems with starter. Gasoline leaks from the tank due to the seal failure. Inside door panel on drivers side is broken.

Vehicle bought brand new, well maintained, but oil started leaking approximately 3 years from purchase. Then dealer inspects vehicle and conveyed that manifold needed to be replaced also. Very frustrating. Service person at dealer could not viable explanation as to why there were leaks in gasket or manifold failure.
