Gas smell after driving?

After driving my car for awhile it will start smelling like gas around the gas tank, I looked and seen no signs of leaking but is there a comon problem that would make the car do this?
Thanks for your help.

Yeah I got the same thing. I posted about it along time ago. I got a great answer. But its too cold out for me to bother fixing it. Try searching for "gas smell" or something and my name, you might find it.

I have found that my gas cap occasionally leaks (even after replacing it). I know it an obvious thing to look for, but anytime I smell gas around my car, I know to take off the gas cap and put it back on.
