open the windows, close the cabin vent and shut off cabin heat so that no
air from the engine area gets routed into the cabin. get it on the ground
asap.


As additional info, I want to add that Carbon Monoxide has a MUCH
greater affinity for human hemoglobin than oxygen... so in the presence
of ONGOING CO poisoning, adding supplemental oxygen isn't as effective
as REMOVING the source of CO production.

So.. getting out of the contaminated environment is key.. (fixing the
leak, etc)
