Smells problem
1985 Oldsmobile 98 V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic

when we had to start using the heater in the car, (even though it is Florida, it is very unseasonably cold in the mornings here right now), we could smell gasoline inside the car. We have checked all over inside and outside and cannot find a leak anywhere, in side, out side or under the car. Hopefully someone can help us with this problem Thank you

check the fuel injectors to see if one is leaking. They have a rubber o-ring at the bottom of them and can leak from there.

Let me know what you find.
