Whirr can be alternator, PS pump, or turbo -- use a piece of broomstick or similar large wooden rod, but one end on the possible source (avoid the rotating parts, duh!) and the other behind your ear. Source will be obvious.

Fuel smell and low milage is almost certainly leaking overflow lines on the injectors or a bad return line (possibly suction side hoses, too, had to replace mine this summer).
