Petrol Smell - overfuelling?

Guys

 

Previous petrol / fumes smell that I suffered from seems to have been traced to the rear of the machine when just switched off

 

Not there when engine cold - no sign of leeks from the underside - or engine bay and lasts about 30 secs only once stopped and switched off

 

Think it might be from residue left in exhaust due to overfuelling?

 

Recently had downpipe and new exhaust fitted - and re-torqued this just to check if a leak

 

Could this be a prob with the lambda?

 

Tried following the last thread about where this is with Mycroft et al giving it loads of handbags at dawn (bloody silly if you ask me)

 

No mis-firing though - and purrs along quite nicely whether hot or cold

 

OK Inspector Closseau's to the fore

 

Cheers

 

Paul

:cool:

 

Going mad :(
