Default Gas Smell When Engine Cold

Hi all- wondering if anyone has gotten this issue? I get a gasoline smell when the engine is cold or in the morning when the weather is cold. Once the engine is warmed up, the smell goes away. The smell seems to come from the middle of the engine underneath the intake. The car is an 07 IS350 with the fuel pressure regulator gasket recall done.

Perhaps purchase a fuel-safe UV dye that will help you locate the source of the leak under the hood. Yes, you will need a black light.
