First post of the new year so happy new year and all that...
Anyhow, parked up my 03 C4S in the garage after a trip out on Saturday and caught a slight whiff of a petrol smell near the OS Front Wing. After a thorough sniffing around its coming from under the wheel arch. Had another sniff around on Sunday morning and it had cleared but after taking it out again the smell was back. No evidence of any leak on or under the car and i'm 99% sure its not the fuel cap, as there was no smell around the edge of cap, whereas under the wheel arch there definitely was. Couldn't detect much of a smell under/around the battery so my initial thoughts are Charcoal Canister of the plumbing around it.....
Searched the forum/google and this seems likely but one question i have for those that have seen (smellled?) this before is, when I take out the arch liner and have a look am i likely to see any visual leaking or will I be relying on my nose to pinpoint the issue? As ever, any guidance gratefully received....
Thanks all!!!
