bro,

it could be there is an hole somewhere at the booth area or underneath your body....

your car is the hatchback right? cause if it leaks through the booth area it can come in through your back seats....try to strip your stuff in the booth area,spare tire,carpet and all and search for holes...and that might be the cause of the smell....

can you only get the smell or have you even seen smoke at the back ?

Other than that, it might be from your center console where your handbrake and gear stick located. Seals might have gone bad...
