Petrol smell.

I've often had a slight smell of fuel coming from the car after filling right up (yep, the cap IS put on properly), but recently the smell is becoming more frequent, even with only a half full tank. I get a strong whiff of it on cornering and generally in higher revs. The smell is from outside the car (windows open - I'm in Spain) and there's no apparent leak in either engine bay or from underneath when stationary. I'm no mechanic, could it be fuel pump gasket or a bloody hole in my tank?

 

Any thoughts/ideas welcome.

Thanks guys for the replies. I forgot to say the car is a N/A, and the exhaust system looks stock. The cracked cat sounds interesting, and expensive, so hope its just some wonky bit of tubing somewhere.
