I have a 1990 760 turbo wagon, and I've noticed lately that when my car starts up, I begin to smell gas fumes. I don't really smell them too much inside the car when I'm driving, but when i turn it off and get out it's very noticeable...THe smell doesn't go away once the car is shut off, even after a few hours, and its very noticeable when you pop the hood. It seems to be mostly on the driver's side; I believe the fuel line is located on that side? It's been happening on and off for the last couple weeks, but the last few days its gotten stronger, and is constant.

I'm taking it in on Monday to have it checked out, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas what it could be? I'm thinking a hose or something may be loose? I was able to get an appt soon,and I know that this isn't a good thing, but I am concerned with driving it with these fumes; is it dangerous?

Any insight is appreciated!
