is it wet inside your car? Like on the floor under the dash more towards the center? Does it smell funny in your car?

Could be your heater core leaking .. i would feel around and see if theres any wet spots

Yeah, check this^^

If all is good, do a compression check. The only other place it could go is into the combustion chambers(blown HG).
