2000 vw passat smells like gas when driving why?
If it is a diesel , then you have a fuel container in the trunk that has dumped over and is leaking gas into the trunk area?
If your Passat is a gasoline engine , then I am going to say you have a fuel leak (possible fuel line rot).
Start the car and leave it in park... exit the car and inspect the underside for drips...alternatly you may choose to park the car in a spot you know is free of debrise and stains etc. and run the car there while parked for a few minutes and then pull it forward and inspect the ground for new fuel staining.
