We had been smelling gasoline inside the car for about a day. When we started the car in the morning there was a little difficulty starting the car. We backed out and noticed some liquid in our parking space. Upon checking the liquid smelled like gasoline. When I checked under the hood, there was a gasoline leak when we started the car (spraying all over the engine). The injector fuel line where it goes into the fuel rail was leaking at the crimp clamp. The part was not available anywhere in the United States. (we were at the end of a weeks vacation in Arizona). We thought we found a used part but it was the wrong one. Finally, after we had to rent a car to come home, Nissan said it would be shipping the part to our mechanic's distributor and would be available in 5 - 10 days. I had to take a bus back to Arizona to pick up the car. It could have been a catastrophe if the car had caught fire or if we were in a desolate or precarious area where we had been earlier that week.
