Mine is sometimes a little stinky too. WHen was your last oil change? It will smell if you dont have the cat on it. If its a leak the ntake it to auto zone or something and they have a device that can find it in a second.

Its nothing really. If its a leak then they will find it in about 15 seconds with a little device. Most turbo cars are a little stinky anyway.

So quick question...I have a 1991 mitsh3000gt sl, however I don't know too much about these cars, but anyway mine has duel exaust...does yours? You see because the previous owner had installed the new duel exaust and when they were installed they were positioned too high to my fuel inlet hose, which caused the hose to melt and I had to replace it. Although I replaced the hose, it still continues to smell like gas because it is slowly melting again...until I can get my exaust lowered, I will continue to have this problem...so you may wanna check the fuel inlet hose, you may have the same issue??
