Like Nick said above, the rubber hoses under the inlet manifold were a re-call on the bug eye models. Only small bits of piping but a bit of a sod to get at, the screws and clamps used in the assembly like to rip your hands apart too!

Mine sometimes smells a bit towards the rear of the car, I believe the charcoal canister/box thing (emissions aid) is under the rear bumper and might have something to do with the smell, especially as the car is running richer when cold.
