The fuel lines run across the top of the motor. They enter the engine compartment near the oil filter and then cross over to the fuel rails on the lower intake manifold. You likely have a leak in one of them or around an injector.

thanks alot for information but i have few more questions...
I remember, I touched a aluminum check valve when i did vac job at home. What is that matter with fuel smell? Is fuel actually going through that valve?
