Alvin,

Will post some pics later.

After retightening all my clips I did notice the top breather clip was loose so will monitor over the next few days.

Definitely no other leaks anywhere else.

I have the aluminium cover plate to the tank - does not look pretty, but at least is out of sight.

The other idea may be a bloked breather hose. I'm told that after a good run if the filler cap is under pressure when removing then the breather is blocked.

Its my fuel consumption that I am concerned with - 400km tops per tank - may be city driving, but definitely not as good as 2 months ago.

Will check out the oxygen sensors, but again I'm told they only kick in on a long run.

If the fuel consumption / petrol smell remains over the next few weeks its back to my engine tuner for a checkout and fix.

This perfection thing is a pain in the a#$e!!
