I had not run my 900 for perhaps 10 days -- so NOT running -- and when I got in yesterday there was an overpowering gas smell. I opened the hood and saw nothing, and no particular gas smell. I started up and backed down the drive to park it over asphalt (to watch it more closely) and later found a puddle the size of a large dinner plate ... it would have been at passenger's side rear, probably near the rear axle. It was fresh - the puddle was glistening. I tried again this morning. No smell in car, no puddle underneath. I started it up and looked under and saw a spray coming down, it appeared to be ahead of the fuel tank and just behind the muffler running across the car (nice mix, gas and exhaust). I am guessing fuel pump or component... any other insights? All information welcomed!
