Default rain start problem. weird smell.

today is the third time my car had a problem starting after long rain. it started just now maybe because of the sunshine and the humidity was decreasing. right after the engine started, i could smell weird smell came out from the exhaust for a while and it went back to normal. does anybody know why? one symptom is while driving, sometimes i smell gas even if the windows are closed. please help.. thanks.

That happened to me once. I smelled gas inside the car. The smell was really strong like I had poured gas on the carped or something, turns out it was one of my injector O-rings. Gas was pouring down the back of the head. I don't know what to say... Check for leaks maybe?
