Description of the problem	Second time car has been in for this issue. Issue is common, and many forums topics have been started documenting the commonality of this issue. I can provide links. Issue: leaking/raw gas smell outside of car, inside of car, and inside of engine bay in cold weather upon start up (engine warm or cold). Leaking/dripping gas can been seen in engine bay. First repair: tightened fuel line clamps. Issue fixed. Next winter came along, issue returned. This time dealership (north shore subaru, highland park, il) wants $700 to fix the issue. First repair cost $51. 33 at liberty auto city/subaru in libertyville, il. Called subaru of america and reported repeat of issue. They have not offered to repair it and deny that the issue is common. I believe this is an environmental, health, and safety concern. No vehicle i've ever owned has leaked fuel and i'm baffled as to why subaru doesn't consider this a serious liability risk.
