I have notice today a strong smell of gas when I looked inside the hood I notice a leak in front-left side of motor. Metal piece that has gas on it is gold/bronze color. Looks like a slow leak not have leak

Hi:
It's either a fuel inlector, fuel rail or line. Any fuel leak is a fire hazard and needs to be repaired ASAP.

Thank you for the advice. It was the fuel injector that was wrong. I had it fixed by a mechanic that same week I had the smell. I have had no problems since.
