Exhaust and gas smell
This is a lovely new addition to my car. When it is idling stopped for more than 20 seconds, i smell exhaust fumes. Then unburnt gas. And if it is left, it just smells like gas.
I think it's trying to kill me.

Injector O-rings
Exhaust leak
Clogged cat (least likely)
EGR (but you have no CEL so again unlikely, and the car would run like shit)
I'd place a bet on the O-rings with your mileage. It's not that expensive.

Fuel lines corroded. It's going to be a long night.
Also looked at the rear brakes and they need some loving. And since they have all of these lines in one bracket, the brake lines are pretty gone too.
My bank account is taking quite the hit today.
