Default fuel odor??

I have a 92 LX 5.0 5 speed. Came home tonight and pulled into the garage. Got a raw fuel odor that is in the area of the altenator. I spent a half hour looking and found no leaks at all. Anyone seen this before or any ideas?

fuel line has a schrader valve on it for testing pressure. its possible it came loose. otherwise just keep looking. fuel dries very quickly, especially in low quantities & exposed to heat. you'll probably have to see it happening live, otherwise you won't find it.
