Default Gas smell around the rear pass wheel well..
I don't see any drops or wet spots on the fuel lines around that area. I don't smell it inside the trunk either.. Where could it be????

Default When did you fill up with gas last?
I have had the same thing you are mentioning once in a while.

Pull the fuel pump R&R cover from inside the trunk - lots of places to leak from under there!

Default Fuel lines could be corroded and weeping. BTDT.
Check closely where the line passes through the rubber hangers. Water get trapped and rusts the lines.
