Default Scent of gas, no lights on dash tho

For the past few weeks I've noticed the smell of gas after I shut off my '01 ES. It hangs around for a minute or two and then dissipates, so it's really only there right after I shut off the car. I notice it most near the rear, drivers side of the car. There are no lights on the dash, but I also haven't pulled the codes. Funny thing is that I had a very similar issue about three years ago:

Any idea what it might be this time? Charcoal canister seems to be a common cause.

Wow it's been a while since I've seen you on here. Could it possible be the filter leaking? I can't remember where it is on the ES but I feel like I've seen it before as the issue

I think it's on the firewall.

Well, I haven't had any issues or made any mods to my 01 ES in years. It's been super reliable. I'll look into the filter though, thanks.
