[Supras] Question about Exhaust fumes in cabin!

[Jim Jobe]

The charcoal canister would smell like gasoline.

I'd suspect any exhaust gasket - manifold, turbo,
elbow, downpipe, egr cooler, and both sides of the egr
valve.  Any of these could leak, however it's also possible
that the fan or wind is blowing the fumes around.  Fix
the obvious leak first.
