Wait a few minutes, and then carefully look at the newspaper for spots, as this would indicate a fuel leak.
Remove the newspaper with the spots, and replace with fresh paper, then watch and see if you continue to get spots. Note where these are located, and go back to the dealer as request a fix or repair.
Per writer he took it to the dealer. Doubt any dealer would let a fuel leak problem cart go out the door and tell customer no problem(huge liability issue for them) My 2020 cart does the same but smell dissipates quickly. Writer might check fuel cap and see if it is tightened properly,
