Since the beginning when fuelling up I was smelling the petrol a little, just during the 20 first miles, and only outside of course, not inside.
But the car being on the bridge at the mechanics and looking at the tank, it was obvious that it was oozing on the right side.
Verdict: the pump seal is to be changed.

And hearing a rumbling noise on the left, nevertheless without play so far, the mechanic added a pair of wheel bearing to be done ASAP.

So I ordered at DMGRS. I hope those little discomforts will be sorted at the end of next week
