    With your engine runnig check to see if any of your injectors or fuel lines are leaking.

    Probably leaking injectors. I smelled gas in the garage for months before I figured it out. Look for the telltale brown spots on the intake behind each injector.

    one of the reasons might be ur running rich like DXhatch said. also, it might be ur flex pipe in front of the cat is ripping out. also, u might be leaking pwr steering fluid from the main hose in front of the engine.

    By the way, its not in the right section. U should post this in Technical section. man.... this the third time in a day i came across a thread like this.
