Default Petrol whiff

When I run my scooby idling usually without going anywhere I get a strong whiff of petrol.
Not sure where it's from,no obvious leaks,any ideas,in for a service next week so I'll ask them to check anyway...cheers.

Depending on the year, I think there is a mod-kit to fix a problem with the fuel pipe unions in the engine bay. I think they leak when the engine's cold. If it's this, then the dealer should know all about it and can fix it for you.
