In addition to exhaust, a few things to check.
Check floor pad under carpet up near pedals for moisture.
Remove driver side speaker grill and check for signs of coolant leaking around heater valve. Can be hose connections or valve itself. Look for signs of dripping around heater core housing(heater valve attaches to it). Heater cores are usually pretty good but the heater valves leak all the time. Leakin coolant smells sweat and will give you a headache.
Re fuel pump. Unscrew and pull the luggage compartment floor board up and inspect access doors for fuel pump and fuel gauge. They pull right up. Can't imagine anybody drilling a hole in the wooden board, because it's easy to remove. Then check for leaks at pump and gauge seals. You'll see wet gas if leaking.
In engine compartment look for gas leaks at fuel rail and regulator and fuel lines.
The only other are I can think of is the fuel fume evaporator system. Check vacuum lines to reservoir up near driver headlight. If you want you can actually plug these vacuum lines and disable the evap emission system. If smell goes away, you might need a new reservoir.
Also check fuel filler neck. The neck can crack and the hoses can fall off. Access is in rear compartment behind side panel.
