follow the gas line. you will find it one way or another. look closely
to pressure relief valve. It might be leaking into intake through the
vacuum line.

If you cannot trace the leak I suggest you take it to a mechanic as soon as
possible before it explodes. Gas leaks in the engine compartment are
extremely dangerous, actually anywhere they are dangerous. Any good mechanic
can find it for you, you don't have to take it to the dealer....
