Subaru Forester exhaust/fuel smell in cab

"I was just wondering if anyone got any concrete answers to the exhaust / fuel smell issues..."

What more do you want on the subject of a fuel smell from the rear passenger area?
Now an exhaust smell is another subject not presented by the original poster. Do you have both issues?

I also periodically get a code for my emission system
Says gas cap lose
There is prob a hose cracked somewhere causing both problems?

I have the fuel smell come and go in my 2001 Outback. Typically its a slightly loose connection to the fuel filter. The cold weather causes a little shrink. This last time I tightened the hose clamps myself. Not sure if that solved it or not since the next day was warmer, but the fuel smell was gone. I've never noticed actual leaking gas in the 3 or 4 times its happened over the years.
