Yes that's what's worrying me!

I'm gonna take a proper look tonight, the source of the smell is definitely petrol (unburnt) and is coming from the right hand side of the car from the header tank area, is there a breather that could come off in this area but not affect running?

I've got the Subaru manual out and am going to take a good look but I'm not having a good run at the moment with the car! The bolt that attaches the alternator to the tensioner has now snapped buggering both belts! It's held on with a crappy mild steel bolt (all the RAC man had) until the proper bolt arrives so fingers crossed!
