What is your question?
There's a fishy smell in the trunk when I drive it. Before fluids were running out underneath not sure where it was coming from. I took it for a oil change and noticed leakages after and I took it back and he topped it off again with fluids. sometimes it shuts off when driving but I think because the cable to the battery needs replacing. I also noticed a recent leak from the I believe from the muffler, a small hole spitting out fluid.
What makes this problem better or worse?
When driving
How long has your 2003 Ford E-150 had this problem?
A few months

Hello, it's really hard to say why an abnormal smell occurs. A few things I can think of causing a smell would be: -Oil leak from a component burning on hot engine or exhaust components -Sulfur smell from gassing battery -Moldy smell from the ventilation system inside the car None of these sound like "fishy smell" -- so it's super hard to know without experiencing it first hand. Perhaps you could take your vehicle locally and see if someone could get a "nose" on it and give you an opinion? https://repairpal.com/repair-shops/ford-repair-and-service-in-atlanta-georgia
Old antifreeze has a similar smell - suspect engine coolant leak.
Thank you. I did notice when driving off from a parking space there's fluid on the ground.
