Good question. It's really hard to tell. I assumed because the car was trying to start but couldn't, that it was just unburned fuel in the exhaust. But I honestly don't know. I don't SEE anything -- like any dripping.

Bingo. I have it as long as the dealer can avoid sending up a TD1
Thanks. Yeah I went forward knowing the CPO was likely not going to hold up. Very very very smart move, I see.
Yeah I have it for about another hour until the tow truck gets here. Now the car starter won't even turn. I'm scared to do anything. I don't have the right socket to remove the plugs anyways.
Pull the cover, take a picture and post it, could be that something is just loose.

If you have the stock PCV system the smell you describe sounds more like the smell from that. Any liquid on the ground?I’m noticing the gassy smell persists inside, but it’s not gasoline. It’s gas-ish but almost more solvent-like. I get a whiff outside sometimes too.
Definitely seems to be concentrated more towards the rear of the car, but the wind is shifty so hard to tell,
Yea stock PCV. No liquid that I can notice. Shined a flashlight around the best I could. I think you’re right on the smell, could something be disconnected or leaking I can easily find?
So is it being towed to the dealer? Hopefully it's just something came loose. Almost has to be fuel or PCV related to get every cylinder to misfire. I'm hoping for the simplest solution.
