Running hot, smells of gas when parked

R57 2009 n14 s 110k automatic It runs hot enough to make the hood (by the scoop) too hot to touch for more than a few seconds. No codes. Runs fine. Also is smelling like gas when parked. What’s going on??
It is worse when the tank is full. Still no codes.

A blocked catalytic converter?

Just the symptoms you describe but there may well be other causes.
Does the exhaust manifold glow? - that's another symptom.
Some folks report that Cataclean may work (others don't!).

I’ve not noticed any glowing … but will try to look for it!
