Hello â€

Look around your fuel injectors really well... Also the fuel rail. Check the fuel lines in the engine compartment. All of these have O rings and many times this is where it is leaking at. Check the car with the engine off and with it running.

Please be careful for fumes and to ensure no sparks are around.

Hello â€

Also, it looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you.
