There is a carbon chamber fitted that condenses fuel vapours. There is a pie that vents from the carbon trap down under the engine bulk head and to 2 'connections' clipped to the chassis rails close by the gearbox crossmemmber. Your smell may be coming from on of the vent tubes broken/perrished or missing. Check the full run of the tube. The carbon trap is close to the rad at the front on the turbo side of the engine.
