Im pretty sure it will be the seal around your fuel tank cover underneath your rear seat. Its a common problem. If you fill up your petrol tank to full, have a look underneath the car at the back and see if there is any fuel leaking anywhere. Mine has been in need of repair for a while, but I just only ever filled it up to 3/4 full haha. Ive got used to the smell.
