So I have two issues, both started up at about the same time. My mileage plummeted in November or so down to 11-12mpg or even lower, much more than just a winter fuel drop. Also I have a raw diesel odor that comes on REALLY strong when I idle the truck with the heat on. You can smell it from the exterior of the truck, but it's REALLY noticeable inside the cabin. I've checked the motor and cannot find any obvious leaks. I sprayed down any damp spots that even looked suspicious with break cleaner and wiped them clean, but have yet to find a leak.
Anyone have thoughts to what is causing my issues? Truck runs fine, no excess smoke, no fuel in my oil. Any way they are connected??
*Edit - Smell also dissipates completely when I start driving comes back again after 5 or so minutes of idling.
