Air filter smells of fuel

Recommended Posts

My air filter on my 2ltr 16v Rado seems to smell of fuel. I've noticed theres a small drop of fuel on the arm of the mechanical injection. If there was a leak in the injection system, would it be an obvious spray with it being a 70psi fuel pump? Also the average MPG around town is 18 and the max I've ever had is 27. Is it normal for the air filter to smell of fuel with the mechanical injection system?
