Yeah, I think it comes from the outside, as I don't notice the stink until the car comes to a halt and the smell has time to gather around the car and permeate through, so maybe it is the O2 sensor. Could this be related to the other post I have a bit lower on this forum concerning low gas mileage? If the O2 sensor were messed up, could these two be symptoms? Hmm, I'll take the car in to get checked tomorrow and see what's up.

Thanks a lot, you guys are a huge help! :D

P.S. While I'm at it, I'll check the hose anyway, no harm in taking a looksy, right? :)
