Smells problem
1999 Subaru Forester All Wheel Drive Automatic 140000 miles

I ran my car to run a quick errand today. It was VERY cold outside and I blasted the heater to warm it up (the car was parked outside for almost 10 hours prior to this). After I returned, I parked in the garage and noticed a very strong gas smell. Seemed to be coming from under the hood. My garage now smells like gasoline. Any idea what's wrong?

Hi there, I would be carefully looking for a fuel leak around the injectors and fuel lines, vent the garage first and have no naked flames near by, if in doubt get it towed to a mechanic as this will be to dangerous to drive like this.
