low mileage 24 X7 40i. high oil service light + gas smell

~15k miles on it. Built the last week of production on the 24s, so just under 2yrs old.

Strong gas smell from under drivers side door near wheel well. No change in performance.

Just dropped if off this morning. What are we thinking it might be?

For the search engines. Ended up being a bad high pressure fuel pump.

High oil level and gas smell is almost always a fuel delivery system failure. Leaking Injectors or pump pressure. Glad it was easy.
