Message So the other day, I filled up before I got home. About an hour after I parked my car in the garage, I'm sitting there studying and I notice the smell of fuel. Thinking it would go away, I just kind of ignored it. But it didn't. I went out and opened the garage door (not gonna track down leaks at midnight with poor garage lighting), and left it open for about 20 minutes. Closed it and went to bed. I woke up to the strong smell of fuel, still.
At first I suspected the Stant gas cap the previous owner had put on, but it seems like the smell is coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. In fact, it's pretty much nonexistent back at the fuel cap.
I looked over the engine bay today and I didn't see any leaks. I tightened up all the hose clamps I could, but none really seemed loose. Any idea what it could be? I'm leaning towards fuel damper, since it's on the passenger side, and when the FPR in my Z31 died the car ran like garbage, and my Z32 seems to be running fine.
