Default Gasoline smell

Just an FYI---- so a few days ago we began to notice a gasoline smell in the garage. The only gas stored in the garage is whatever happens to be in the tanks of the 2 cars 😁.... Once determined it was the Audi, we brought it in and sure enough it's the fuel rail. Even began to get a whiff of gas through the ac when cruising.

And only on certain VINs within those years. Not all are affected.

That's what I thought - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Anyhow, leak seems to be fixed and the smell has dissipated. Now going on to try and get the god aweful air conditioning noise fixed. Next trip will be 3rd time back for it.
