I have a Sonoma with a 2.2L and automatic. I have a bad smell of raw gas but had it to a mechanic to check for leaks and could not find any.It starts and runs fine, just has a very bad gas odor.

there is a leak and if you dont find it, you have a risk of fire.

injector leaks are common.

I agree. Just because they didn't spend enough time looking doesn't mean it isn't there.
