You've got a blowed head gasket. Do a compression check to confirm. It's not the end of the world. Take it to a shop. Tools are expensive !

Fumes can be from a blown head gasket as the water enters the exhaust it will start to burn in up causing it to make fumes. If it is a head gasket , the smell from the tail pipe will be a bit sweet do to the coolant.
Now to verify this , there are a few ways. A repair facility is one....
The other is for you self-to-do'ers:
1. make sure the car has water in it - pointless at this time to add coolant you will be waisting it if its blown up.
2. If its full of "water" then check the spark plugs - evidence will show water deposits on them if the crack or blown gasket is between Cylinder and water jacket. If its blown between water jacket and oil port - your oil will be Milky looking.
3. If you see nothing then you might have a cracked head near the Exhaust Valve where then its pulling the water into the combustion chamber and into the exhaust.
All in all seems you are having issues that need to be addressed soon and by a professional repair facility.
Good Luck to you.

That's where exhaust fumes are supposed to come out of.
Do you mean it keeps running after you shut it off?
If that's what you mean, then it is dieseling. Too much carbon in the cylinders.
Put lots of carburetor cleaner or fuel injector cleaner in the fuel tank and fill it up with gas and take some extended runs. That will burn out some of the carbon. You are taking too many real short trips and shutting off the car before it has time to warm up. That is bad on the car and it builds up too much carbon in the combustion chambers.
Before you take an extended run, change the oil and filter too. Check the coolant level, brake fluid and tire pressure including the spare tire.

That is what the exhaust is for......to exhaust the exhaust fumes out the rear of the car so they won't get into the interior of the car and kill you. No problem there.
It keeps running hot? Check for plenty of anti freeze and water. Check to make sure your fan belt is tight if it isn't a electric fan. Make sure the bottom radiator hose aren't sucking together when the engine is running.. Check your fan clutch IF it isn't electric and IF it is electric, check to make sure the fan is running after the motor warms up to running temperature. Other things could cause the engine to run hot but that gets deeper such as is the radiator stopped up? Good luck. Pops
