Default GSX Issues

Once in a while i sense a strong smell of gas inside the car, i have been searching inside and out but haven't found any leaks, just wondering if anyone has the same problem and where the smell is coming from? it's a 91 gsx. Also there is a high pitching noise coming from the front of the car starts when i reach 30 and it gets worst the faster i go, but if i let go the gas pedal it goes away, as soon as i touch the gas again, it comes right back. i have check tranny oil, diff oil, adjusted the clutch but nothing gets rid of the deam noise. please advise

WELL, I HAD THE TURBO INSPECTIONED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THE BOV REPLACED THINKING THAT THE BOV WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT KEPT MAKING THE SAME NOISE IS LIKE A HIGH PITCH WHISTLE.

I was asking if it could be your turbo. Or it sounds like a boost leak, like a high pitch whistle?

check the outlet pipe coming off of the turbo. my friend had the same problem. it is a boost leak. also, can you smell the gas smell worse from in the car or out?

I FIGURE OUT THE SMELL OF GAS, AFTER LOOKING EVERYWHERE I DROP THE GAS TANK AND FOUND A PERFECTLY ROUND HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TANK, IT LOOK LIKE A PLUG OR SOMETHING WAS THERE.

I'M STILL CONCERN ABOUT THAT PITCHING NOISE, COULD THE CLUTCH MAKE THAT KIND OF NOISE? OR MAYBE THE TRANNY?
