You may want to pull off the plastic engine cover and look where the injectors meets the head. Or look up "black death" a fuel leak issue with 05/06 CDIs. I understand you smell it from the rear of the vehicle but a quick check there would not hurt and maybe save you some agony if you catch that in it's early stage even if its not the cause of the fuel smell.

Take Sloride's advice

"Black Death" HAS been found as early as 40K miles !
