Default 1990 audi 90 Q 20V fuel smell inside car
Just picked up a 90 20v, and while driving and letting it sit overnight, it sometimes reeks of gas fumes inside the cab. could this be an exhaust leak or a leaky fuel line?

Common rust out and leak point is passenger side front under the heat shielding. Pull back the tin and have a look.

I've heard the pressurized fuel lines are known to go bad, and produce a fuel smell after sitting for a while. I've only owned my 20v 90 for two weeks though so... good luck!
