I have the same problem with my 1998 Cabriolet. It has 29,000 miles on it (yes). There is a gasoline odor when I leave the car with the windows up. Two dealers in different states looked and found no observable problem. The first dealer told me that the gas odor problem is was fairly common with these cars. Luckily, the car is garaged, so I can leave the windows down.

A fellow on another forum suggested pulling the rear seats and checking the seals on the fuel pump and such. I'm not much of of a fixer-upper, so I assume the dealer made that particular check. I'll check it too, just haven't taken the time yet.
