About a month ago, all of the sudden I can smell gas when the car is idling. This was never a problem before and I can see nothing visible. Can you offer any suggestions? There is no change in it's performance. Thanks

This is potentially a very dangerous situation. You need to stop driving this car immediately until you locate the source of that smell.

It could be a leaking fuel line, leaking exhaust, etc. All of which can kill you without you even knowing it's happening.

If you locate the source and would like further instruction, feel free to contact me.
