with the car off, cycle the key a few times and start looking. it is hard to see on the drivers side, you may want to remove the upper intake

It may be in the line that leads to one of the injectors.

It also can be from a bad back hatch seal. The car moving down the road will suck fumes into the car. If you are not properly tuned it will smell funny, like gas.
