figure out if u smell gas or exaust. they smell different. if its exaust, you could have an exaust leak in your engine compartment which is dangerous. have you dont any modeifications to your turbo/cat/exaust?

i don't have any modifications on my car... and the smell comes when i stopped, otherwise there is no smell... it is most likely as gas smell but maybe exhaust too, i have to check again.. but i have no strange noise coming from the car like a leak at the exhaust system...

have you been eating a lot of beans?

When I eat alot of mexican, i get a lot of strange noises in my car and gas smells as well. I though it was normal, but now I am not so sure.

My wife thinks its abnormal, I think its perfectly fine.
