Gasoline Smell from engine

since last month, i noticed when i started up the engine under cold conditions i smelled gasoline. i opened the hood and smelled more gasoline. i went to the back and stuck my nose close to the exhaust and there was no gas smell. my car is still under warranty but i got an underdrive pulley in there that i didn't put in myself. so could this be some bad sensor somewhere around the engine?

If there is no gas leaking, it is probably an emissions problem...take it in, should be covered...
