For some time now I've been noticing a faint fuel smell coming out of the side of the car once it gets hot. I thought maybe it's just venting some fuel from the pressure but read online that maybe it's my fuel cap starting to fail. I have been noticing that it's not only harder to open my fuel cap but it also seemed like it took lots of turns to lock it.

| New fuel cap |
I ordered a new fuel cap, part number 17670-S5A-A32. It looks a bit different from the original one but it did screw on and tighten just fine. I also noticed as I was replacing it that my old cap wasn't on tight. I'm 100% sure I tightened this when I fueled up at NJMP two weeks ago so something is definitely up. Hopefully this resolves my issue.
