So driving around today I smell gas. At first I thought it might be a leaking gas tank, but I popped my hood and the smell seems to be coming from the engine area. It was dark so I couldn't really do much. So what's the first thing I should check tomorrow morning when I take a look at the car. I'm guessing it's leaking from some part of the fuel rail or fuel line, possibly the fuel filter? Not sure as I've never experienced anything like this before. Any suggestions?

One of the seals on the injectors could be leaking, o-ring for the FPR or the return line for the FPR.

Ok thanks, I'll be going to to inspect my car shortly. But assuming it is one of these things causing the leak, how dangerous is it to drive the car? Is there a high risk of fire?

Ok, took a look at it this morning. No question about it, it's leaking from the injector furthest from t FPR, or cylinder #4. Just started up the car and put my fingers along the injectors and felt a nice mist. Shut it off and then took a close look and could easily see liquid fuel all around the injector itself. Seems to be only that one injector that's leaking. So what kind of job am I looking at here? Never really played with fuel lines before, this is very new to me. Something I should attempt or something I should get a shop to do?
