You could try to see which end of the car it comes from to start with; could be the tank at back (will come out underneath somewhere) or under the bonnet.

Use a water and fairy liquid mix (other brands of washing up liquid are available) and spray it onto every joint. You'll easily see bubbles if there are any leaks.

There can be internal leaks that spill gas into the manifold, the smell then wafts out the air intake. Difficult to re-start after a few minutes off?
