| Description of the problem | I noticed an extreme smell of fuel in the cabin when i started the vehicle up on an especially cold morning (<10 degrees), and i found the leak coming from one of the clamps on the fuel line right in the middle of the engine bay. The smell is very, very extreme in the early mornings when it's coldest, bad enough that my boyfriend gets nauseous from it, but it hasn't gone away at all despite it getting warmer recently. |
