Need the GURUs - Starting issues and gas smell

[jsbihn]

Ok tracked down the smell of the gas.
It is from my drivers side rear.... basically when I sniffed around I could smell it with the engine running in the left wheel well.

So I guess I need to follow what fyr said, of course.

The other issue that I have seen is that over the past few days, it doesnt take as much to start. Before where it could have taken 3 cycles with the key and originally where it took a really long cycle, now it seems to start up almost without difficult. May just a quick second longer then a normal start.

So where should I start looking and tracking?
It seems weird, almost like another H2 gremlin.
