Default help with fumes

I have noticed a gas fume smell by driver side wheel well. I posted a thread previous about a gas fume thru vents at idle..well pass side well does not have smell..just drivers side. Any ideas..i replaced fuel filter. And its not leaking any fluids.

Check on your truck. I know at one point I heard something about a gas tank recall because the seam on it leaks. Could be worth checking into
