Close your legs. Oh. From the exhaust? Check for fuel leaks by visually inspecting the engine bay fuel lines. There are not that many of them. You may also check your air intake for fuel and that may lead to you a faulty injector. Not uncommon.

Does the car run normally?

exhaust doesn't smell like gas!!!
unless you're running really rich which you'd notice a big change in your performance/mileage
