Revealing runner reeks - tar is involved (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

streaker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'revealing runner' is the definition.
'streaker' can be an answer for 'runner' (I have seen 'Naked runner' mean 'streaker' so perhaps 'runner' could also mean 'streaker'). I am not sure about the 'revealing' bit.

'reeks tar is involved' is the wordplay.
'is involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'reeks'+'tar'='reekstar'
'reekstar' is an anagram of 'STREAKER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for streaker that I've seen before include "One running naked" , "Naked runner" , "One who runs naughtily nude in public" , "when not having a stitch" , "Someone running naked in a public place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
