Gas smell
 
With my 93 Accord I just started noticing a gas smell, can't see any apparent gas leak. Where should I be looking for an obvious gas leak? I know that I need a new exhaust but I wanted to get the oil leak fixed first and now this came up. Could it be not a leak and just a smell since I need a new exhaust?
Thanks

Fuel & exhaust smell different, so you tell us what it is...

Look at the fuel lines running along the underside of the car on the left side. They might be corroded & just leaking enough to smell but not yet enough to make a puddle on the ground.

Also, check your injectors, the O-rings might be a tad leaky.

Yes I have a 93 Accord and I have a fuel smell also, but mine seems to only smell when it is really hot outside, mostly when it's around 110 or higher and even then it's occasional. I live in Arizona. I have looked around too and found no fuel leaks anywhere either. Could it just be the heat. It almost smells like kerosene to me. I've tried different gas stations and also tried mid-grade fuels.
