Regarding the gasoline smell - check the condition of the fuel injection hosing and clamps under the bonnet. The high under-hood temps are not kind to the rubber - I ended up replacing mine twice within two years but I suspect the first lot I bought was of bad quality (it was specified as EFI grade though).
Recently replaced all mine with Wurth EFI hosing when I did the timing belt/water pump combo. Be sure to check the two short hoses at the bottom of the firewall near the power steering pump. Bit of a tough spot to get at but I managed by removing the plenum and reaching down the back. Apart from these two short hoses the rest is quite straight forward...
Good luck!
