I was a little slack on spark plug maintenance and just (meaning 2 weeks ago) replaced the plugs. That's a horror story for another day. I have noticed lately when I first start the engine up, or when at stop lights, etc, I smell gas fumes in the cab. I popped the hood today and don't see any obvious liquid spills or stains so I am assuming that it is a fume leak.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I would be willing to bet your fuel pump is cracked...the same thing was occuring to me and that's what it turned out to be...unfortunatly it was a 900 dollar fix...hopefully yours is something else but have that checked for sure

Take a look under the hood too and have someone turn the key to "on" and make sure all the fuel injectors are fully seated and not spewing gas all over the place.

it's your plugs. i had same problem, even replaced some injectors and all o-rings still had smell though. finally after months checked plugs and one was loose. just half a turn and smell was gone. i read sometimes they don't seat correctly or they can actually loosen up in head. i would check plugs
