Description of the problem	I own a 2004 subaru wrx with 42000 miles. It was recently below 20 degrees in town and i noticed a raw gas smell coming from the engine compartment. Upon further investigation i pinpointed the smell was coming from under the air intake manifold on the passenger side. I have taken the car in for diagnosis from gallas and davis subaru in albuquerque. They confirmed gas leak coming from fuel rail. Dealer has quoted 670. 00 for repairs. I have seen subaru released tsb 09-36-03 relating to this issue. I am waiting on response from subaru of america to see if some or all of the repair cost will be covered. I was told by the dealer to close the vent and i would not smell the gas. I was also told by soa that the issue is only related to 02 models but have found evidence stating otherwise as all fuel rail lines are the same on 02-04 model. The replacement parts related to tsb 09-36-03 fits all the same year models.
