Default Bad raw gas smell and other random issues.

The smell seems to happen totally at random regardless of how I've been driving or even if I have been driving. I've checked all lines, gas cap and anything remotely related to the fuel system and still have had no luck finding the source of the smell. It has done this ever since I rewired my fuel pump to a relay that clicks on with the key. There are no clouds of smoke coming out of the exhaust of any color (unless the car sits and idles for a long long time, but that goes away), so I am stumped.

Also, the car seems to be dripping fluid out of the distrubution junction that leads to the clutch master cyl. Funny thing is that the physical clutch master cylinder is full to the brim with fluid (and has been that way since I got the car), but it drips from the box that ends up going right to the throwout gimmick on the tranny. After wiping the road crud off of everything, I still cannot source the exact location of the drips.


Cliffs notes: Gas fumes, dripping stuff, cannot find.
