Fuel smell from driver-rear area

Over the past year I've noticed a faint fuel-like smell coming from the driver-rear wheel well. I never could figure out where it came from, but it always comes back every so often. About 8 months ago, the dealer had a look around the fuel tank as well and found no leaks.

I came across an old issue on the F30 that is apparently common. The location is approximately the same place where I smell the odor. Is such a leak possible on the diesel LCI F31?

If so, I guess the dealer couldnt see the leak without dropping the tank. Is there enough space on the top side of the tank to wiggle a endoscope to that area without dropping the tank itself? Was planning to take a few pics and if there is a leak, get it fixed under warranty.
