Description of the problem	Smelled a strong fuel smell inside the car; especially when cold starting; this is 3. 3l v6 engine. Took the car to the dealer and they could not find any problem. This was on and before 22 sep 2009 with about 48,000 miles on the vehicle. Gas smell getting stronger and personal mechanic found right front fuel injector leaking, especially when cold.
