I just bought my car last week,and I have only put 100 miles on it,now when I start it,it smells like gas.
and there isnt any leaks that Iam aware of.
Also it only smells when I start it,not driving it,and not when I park it. I havent seen or noticed any leaks on the ground either,,,Thats weird,cause it was smogged too. Do things like this just happen with in a weeks time,and after smogging,and driving it less then 150,miles, DANG!! I'm kinda hurt now that this person sold me a 3,000 dallor car,and it could catch on fire,there goes my freaking money!! Please Help. Thanks. Trisha7025
