how did the old core look?

If memory serves me correctly, when I did my core about 6 years ago, the smell remained for a few days, getting weaker until it was gone.
I didn't really have much doubt when I started using it however because when I pulled out the old one, my suspicions were confirmed that it was bad. A leaking core will be obvious once you can see it. Did your shop tell you whether or not the old one was indeed bad?
Of course it is possible that your new one is defective, but I haven't heard much of that happening.
