Annoying Fuel "Leak"

My 72 442 apparently has a small fuel leak "somewhere." When stored in the garage, the fuel smell is strong, but I can't find an obvious leak. When driving, you can smell it a little bit also. When parked outside, it isn't really noticable. The wife is NOT happy with the foul smell, and I am concerned about the build up of vapors in the garage.
I just bought the car last month, and the prev owner said he never had this problem (was stored in his garage year round, so I believe him.)
I will put cardboard down under the car to try and spot any tell tale fuel leaks. Any other ideas?
I hope something just rattled loose on the 750 mile trailer ride home a few days ago...if so I hope I can just tighten something up.

Thanks for any ideas,

Scotty B
