Gas Fumes in Trunk and Cabin 200

Hello all,

Firstly, I posted a message about this yesterday but it's not showing up on the board, so I thought I'd send it again ...

I am getting really strong gas fumes in the trunk and in the cabin. It seems to have started when my brother and a friend took the hose off the throttle body to look at it. They sprayed some TB cleaner and put the hose back on. Ever since then, 2 weeks ago, the check engine light has remained on. Then the fumes began. I am taking it to my mechanic tomorrow but wondered if anyone else has ever experienced something similar.

I did browse the archives and got some tips on checking the muffler and the gaskets around the gas filler and trunk. Those items all checked out. Also, the passenger side rear light panel is defunct and not working. When it rains, the water pools inside that light area. Might this be connected?

Thanks to everyone that responds!

CeeCee
