Default 53 sti fuel smell

*I've noticed over the last week that I can some times smell fuel out side my car I smelt it today once while driving with the window open and again when pulling up on to the drive I've looked under the car and also around the engine with it running and turned off
the car does 250 miles to a tank ish it's running 360 bhp no cat I've only had it for a few months it runs fine hold boost no hesitation any one got any ideas ?

maybe there's a pipe off your carbon canister under the bonnet.

Is there a de-cat in the car and if so could it be fumes from the exhaust maybe an exhaust gasket leak??
