You have a container of open fuel on the passenger seat? You're gunna have to be more specific about when the smell comes in.

Check the fuel lines. They are known to weep/crack.

shouldn't have strong fuel or exhaust smells. Just the usual oily smell you get in every mk2.

Do you get any smoke at all when you rev it? Different colours?

Check breather pipes on the engine.
