Smelling Gas

Hello! I hate for this to be my first post, but I have been smelling fairly strong as soon as I step out of the car and even a little inside when the windows are up. My co-worker thinks it's the little plug that goes into the intake manifold near the spark plugs, where this plug or something should be but there is nothing (will have pics if needed). Is the gas smell common in B16A's? What else could cause this? Well hopefully someone can figure this out or help me narrow it down as to what could cause this before I have to take it into a shop and get charged megabucks (most likely).

Re: Smelling Gas

gas smell? does it happen after the car is warmed up? you could be running rich and unburnt fuel is making it out the exhaust.
