Default outside air still coming in (despite internal air recirc button set on)

Has anyone had this issue where the outside air seems to still come into the cabin despite my having activated the internal air recirculation button? If so, what's the problem/fix?

Btw, the vents selected are only the vents at face/chest level (not defrost).

I started noticing strong odors in the cabin whenever I drive through a section of the city that I know to be smelly.

Thanks.

Probably a small leak through the firewall

awesome! thanks, guys. I will check this out.

One thing i did notice recently is that if i have the fan or A/C off, i don't smell the odor as much as if I have it on. Does that make any difference?
