Hi All,

2 weeks ago, I hit a big rock on the Norther state parkway. I thought the rock was going to take out the oil pan. Instead, I had an instant flat and thought I was lucky.

Today, I smell the gas fume around the rear driver side. It gets strong around the wheel well area but not so much by the main fuel pump.

What's the best way to find the leak? Jack up the car and look under with the engine running? I am not sure if the rock contribute some sort of leakage. There is no visible leak but there is strong smell.

The rock hit the rear trailing arm.

and it took out the tire.
