Good point. Is the smell coming from the dipstick or just in the driver
compartment?? The oil on the dipstick may already feel thinner to the touch
than normal by now.

Another likely cause is the balance hose that runs between the tops of the
tanks. If that has come loose, or has split, the gas smell would be pretty
unbearable. It connects straight to the tank on the LHS, and to the rubber
extended
from the filler cap on the RHS.
I had just this problem with my SIII after it had been in the body shop and
they left the pipe off.
