To expand on the Cap'n's missive, and be a bit more specific, investigate:
The fuel filler pipe.  These have been known to perish and "weep" fuel 
vapors, particularlty if regularly overfilled.
The evaporative canister located in the boot (silver colored, mounted inside 
the right rear fender), and the rubber lines connecting thereto.
The charcoal canister located in the right front (black cylinder mounted 
vertically near the firewall) and the lines connected there.
