Smell of Gas

[sukchew at suddenlink.net (Chuck Blue)]

If you are getting the rainbows while the car is setting it probably is not 
really related to boost.Find a dry spot put some newspaper under the car and 
see if it gets gas on it.Then you can get serious about searching for fuel 
leaks.Look for the simple stuff first.
   Yes you can look for a fuel leak with a match and ebay for another 
scirooco.The choice is yours.
