IS350 Gasoline and Coolant smell in cabin
I just picked up a 2008 IS350. The interior has a very odd maple syrup smell (seems like coolant) as well as a raw gas smell in the cabin. I have searched the forums and the only thing I could find was that there was a recall for the FPR gasket which my VIN doesn't show outstanding. Smell is more prevalent when windows are down while not moving. Can't smell it from the outside.
Are there any known problem areas on the IS350 to look to identify the gas and coolant smell?

It is definitely a coolant smell. I have already steam cleaned/ shampooed the carpets, replaced the cabin filter. The smell is coming from the vents for the coolant and gas smell. Not as noticeable with recirculate on, but definitely still there

2012 is250 and I've been smelling gas through the vents as well. When in circular mode i don't get any smell but I've checked for leaks and nothing anywhere unless it's a gasket somewhere. Let me know if there's an answer.
