Help !! Gas smell after fuel return

I did fuel return last week. For some reasons, there is gas smell coming out around thottle body. And if i leave my car in the garage more than 2 hours, the whole garage smell like gas too. Weird thing is i don't smell anything in the car. I checked all the fittings can't see any sign of leaking. Does anybody has the same problem?

Well it smells gas before the cat warms up and starts cleaning the exhaust. If I open the throttle plate and smell, it's definately gas, even after driving around.
