i've noticed a stong gas smell coming from the exhaust. what could be the cause of this?

thanks in advance.

Normaly if its warm and and you can still smell unburnt fuel the cataletic converter has failed or the air fuel mix is way rich and will eventully cause the cat to fail. Time to put the scan tool to work looking for any than thats out of its usuale peramiters. hope this helps!! ps cats dont normaly whair out unless sumthing elts is wrong or impact damage.
? Is the check engine lite on?

Thanks for the reply. I guess getting the cat checked out is the way i'm going to have to go. boooo

the check engine light is not on. hopefully that doesnt jinx me now. LOL
