#4 Fuel Injector Leak
I've been getting this intermittent fuel odor inside the car especially at idle or standing in traffic. I looked at the fuel rail, the injectors, and the general vicinity on top of the engine for anything obvious. It appears that #4 fuel injector is leaking at the base where it makes up to the lower intake. Has any one else run into this problem. Looks like possible O ring failure.

I would definantly look into replacing all the o rings on the injectors if that looks to be the case.
Prolly about a 1 hr job.

Check your fuel supply quick disconnect fitting.
If it is leaking like mine was, the fuel collects around the number 4 injector.
NAPA sells a slick replacement fitting for around $8 that is very easy to install.
The o-rings inside the factory fitting have a tendency to dry out and lose the sealing ability.
See my post for 2002 SLE intermittent fuel smell.
