more likely it's the hoses to the injectors; replace them before you have a fire. That fuel can drip right into the starter and ignite upon start-up

Thank you for the help, I don't really know how to do that (replace the hoses), so I'll will try to take to the shop.

Try to find the leak with your hand or a light. If you are lucky, it could just be the return hose, or something simple.

Re: Fuel Injectors.
What I did once was wipe all the injector hoses dry then put some dry shop towels under the injectors, disconnect the coil wire and then crank for a second or two. The fuel lines when charged are around 30-35 psi and any leaks will show up.
Not really a difficult job to swap the lines out once the fuel rail and assembly is on a bench. A 10mm socket, box cutter, box of band aids and some proper fuel line clamps with the 7.5mm ID injector hose and good to go.
I'm having a fuel smell issue as well but I'm thinking fuel line from the tank at the moment. Everything under the hood is dry.
