Default Exhaust fumes in cabin with window open

While driving with the window open on cruise on the motorway or if Im giving it beans I get the smell of exhaust fumes in the car, I had a crack on my headers at the up pipe flange which Ive fixed and has helped but the problem still persists. Ive fitted new heads with new cover gaskets so they should be good but Ill check tomorrow to make sure. It was raining the other day and I noticed water on the boot floor which has came from the nearside tail light, Ill seal it up tomorrow. Im thinking with the window open the fumes are getting sucked through here in to the cabin, anyone had anything similar?

Slight exhaust leak near the front of the car. I had the same , Id be checking the up pipe and downpipe gaskets. The actual flange on my up pipe was not flat causing a leak , no matter how many gaskets I put in it
