Question Fuel Smell - Isolated the Location...

Greetings fellas,

Noticed this yesterday morning when I went in my garage...
Not sure if related to N63 plethora of issues, but definitely could be... I am having a distinct "Fuel Smell coming specifically from under hood, drivers side of car". I went all around and under and isolated the smell to this area. I am thinking it's either: Loose Spark Plugs or Fuel Injectors.

Any of you experience this???
Naturally I am paranoid to even drive the car now!
I'd like to get an idea prior to taking it to the dealer obviously $$$....

As always,
Thanks in advance!

Marcus

Howdy Marcus!

I have had a similar trouble. It was a loose connection.

A friend of mine works for an insurance company. Fuel leaks can escalate dangerously. Especially gasoline.

Please consider parking the car outside and not in enclosed space to avoid vapor concentration. Please get this fixed immediately. Please flatbed to the dealer if you see liquified fuel or if the smell is strong enough to be noticed in the cabin.
