gas smell :(

trex50 · 05-18-2009

i have a 2007 v6 mustang and recently when i drive i smell gas. today was the first day that there was actually a drip under my car, under the drivers side was a small puddle of gas/oil. i am going to get it checked out tomo as well as an oil change but want to know something about it before i go so i dont get ripped off. any ideas or suggestions

under the drivers side is where the fuel filter is located.There might be a possibility of a leak from there. Replace it and see...or take it to the dealer and have it inspected,Under warranty??

its not mine that leaks,,,

there are only two ,maybe three, places where the filter can leak.
front fitting or back,if there is a seam then maybe in the middle.
