Don't sweat it. Ha.

Sorry, inside joke.

I suggest you check over your fuel system for obvious leaks. Trace the lines back from the fuel rail. Any cracked hoses, damp looking hoses, or suspicious looking hoses should be replaced. Fuel line is cheap, less than a dollar per foot.

Has your gas milage been worse than usual? That will, obviously, be an indication of a serious leak.

any exhaust leaks? Cat delete?

Definitely look into it. Any sort of fire will for sure write your car off and possibly injure you.
