The big rubber hose going into the tank can be leaking even when it looks fine from the outside too. It's worth taking it off, bending it, and checking whether the rubber is cracked on the inside. When I first got my fastback, it had been standing for a year or two and this hose had dried out to the point where the rubber had degraded slightly so that vapour was escaping and making the whole car stink.... replacing this hose, even though all but the most thorough inspection said that it was ok, fixed the problem and now all you can smell is the vinyl seat covers.
