Exhaust Smell...

When I am driving around and I come to a complete stop I smell exhaust. Even when the windows are up. When the windows are down it fills the cabin. But it happens EVERYTIME I stop. I dont think its an exhaust leak because the last time i dropped off my car to get modded he didnt find a leak. What else could it be?
