I think I might have gas leak. There is no liquid on or around my car on the ground when its parked. But the smell is coming out of my exhaust pipe. A gas smell. It sometimes smells inside my car as well. Cani drive this car? And what do you think the problem is?

If it smells like raw fuel like when u get gas at the gas station type thing then u have a gas leak somewhere.I wouldnt drive it all over like that u could have a fire depending where it is. It if its strongest by ur tail pipe it probably is back by ur gas tank. Sometimes there tricky to find when there leaking on top of ur gas tank and if that was the case then u would have to remove the tank to see the leak and fix it.I dont know how how handy u are at fixing cars and all that.I would start by looking for gas stains under ur car then if u dont see any let the car idle and look for a leak. Start there. Let me know what u find.
