## Discrepancy

ON GROUND (BEFORE TAKEOFF) FOUL SMELL THROUGH OUT CABIN AND COCKPIT. FA CREWS SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ODOR DURING THEIR LAST LEG OUT OF MSO. SAID THEY HAD MAINTENANCE IN MSO LOOK AT THE ISSUE-- THEY COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE OF THE ODOR. LEAD FA TOLD ME ABOUT THE BAD ODOR UPON MY ARRIVAL AT THE A/C. AFTER ENGINE START, ODOR RETURNED, ON TAXI OUT, I ASKED THE FAS IF IT WAS THE SAME ODOR THEY EXPERIENCED BEFORE-- THEY SAID YES. AFTER TAKEOFF, PASSING 100' AGL, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE FA CREW SAYING THERE WAS SOME SMOKE IN THE AFT CABIN. SMOKE DID NOT DISSIPATE UNTIL FINAL APPROACH BACK INTO MSP. FOLLOWED NO GO ODI PROCEDURES, PERFORMED TROUBLESHOOTING PER AMDS 0550-2001. REMOVED BORESCOPE PLUGS FOR ACCESS PER AMDS 0550-6001 (WIP AG 129703).
