Default AU1 - Elusive Petrol Fumes

I have an AU1 sedan on dual fuel. Whenever I wind down one of the windows I get a slight smell of petrol, particularly when it's the front passenger's window. Also, after I've stopped and I open the boot I can smell it there too.

I've looked the car all over for signs of leaks, including around the fuel pump and can't find anything, nor could the mechanic I took it to. The smell seems to be independent of whether I'm running on petrol or LPG and how full the petrol tank is.

Since it's worse when the passenger's window is open, I'm wondering if it's somewhere around the fuel rail, although I can't see anything and there's no smell of petrol under the bonnet. The smell in the boot may just be because that's where the fumes accumulate.

Any ideas?
