petrol smell

When i first start my car it stinks of petrol. it lasts for a couple of minutes then dissapears. i don't think i've got a petrol leak as i haven't seen any little petrol puddles anywhere (not that i would as it evaporates fairly quickly) and it only seems to do it when i start the car up from cold. anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem to this?

    check fuel lines on top of plenum and going to injectors.

    quite a common fault I believe if you do a search, best thing to do is to pop the bonnet on a cold morning follow the fuel line from the fuel filter and where the regulator sits in the plenum look around there while someone starts it up and you'll be able to see petrol spraying out. Probably just need to nip up the clips or maybe at worse replace the aged pipes.
