not fumes...thats just heat coming out of the vent

as far as the injectors sounds like you would just need to replace the o-rings on them. not sure where to buy the o-rings at, but its not a hard fix at all

mine did that, start it and when its still cold or whenever you smell it, check for leaks. mine was leaking on the hose that connects to the rail, when it would warm up, it would stop leaking.

Same thing happened to me with my Eclipse. Turned out being one of the O-rings on the #1 cylinder fuel injector
