I am going to check for fuel leaks tomorrow. Something isn't right. I noticed today that I can smell fuel when making a hard turn to the left.

Check the joint where the filler neck meets the tank. Not uncommon to have a bad filler tube or leaky O-ring there...

That is what it sounds like to me also, way too common of a problem or at the top of the filler tube.

Bingo! It is leaking at the filler neck where it connects to the gas tank.

Yup. Mine went bad a few months back. It's a $10 dollar part, and took me an hour, completely by myself, to change it.
