I guess if one had to choose, having the smell of an ex-ghost would be better than having one present.

Is an ex-ghost one that's been reincarnated?

If you have a clutch and it is slipping the smell will get into the passenger compartment. Does it smell like something burning or does it have a "sweet" type of smell. Burning smell is clutch or maybe a belt on the engine. Sweet type is exhaust Both=$$$
Oil leaks getting on the exhaust will smell up the car too...it smells just like burning oil. Since you say it gets worse the more you drive it I suspect an oil leak. Have you added oil or had an oil change recently? Or left the oil cap off after adding oil. OOPS.

The implication being...
Does it happen when anyone else drives the car, or just you?

By the way, what exactly is an "exghost"? Once you become a ghost, can you really become something else?
