Gasoline smell when starting cold
My wife's Q50 has a slight gasoline smell when first started (cold). My Q50 doesn't have that and wondered has anyone else noticed it at all?

That's the first thing that was checked, next was any fuel stains or smells in the engine bay with the plastic "engine dress shield" removed. Any other ideas??
