sl55 gas odor

Hii, I am having the same problem on my sl55, smell of gas outside and inside while it idles and sometimes in cruise, I found a leak on the fuel damper (regulator) I replaced it and done an overhaul for the injectors now the same smell still comes and goes plus the idle gets sluggish sometimes too, please help advice guys I started to hate my beast :'(
