    I can smell fuel as I'm driving down the road. Every time I look for a leak there is nothing to be found. No traces, no wet spots, no wicking, nothing. Engine is a DD13, Freightliner Cascadia 2013. I can also smell exhaust at times too. Again, no indication of a leak anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Could be the diesel doser line or block that injects fuel after the turbo, before the DPF.
    May explain the two smells at the same time.

    Uncleal13, Already checked that. I was thinking it could be the bellows pipe just downstream of the 7th injector. Also, you don't necessarily smell them both at the same time.
