Download pictures on iPad onto a real computer that has an internet connection, upload them to a picture storage site, and then post links.
Not really that hard.
Regardless, you can't provide pictures of a leak that doesn't exist.
How old are the ignition coils, plugs, and wires on your car?
Maybe they are old, getting weak, and have reduced the convertor's lifespan, which is now giving you a smell of oil and gas mixture. You did say that the smell only comes while the engine is idling, correct?
BC.

OMG who in their right mind would ever let a 16 year old have a sports car? and your story of "a dog ran out in front of me" may have been believed by your parents but not by me... yes take it to the dealer and let them fix it then ask them to put you in a mazda3 till you are out of High School...the end...

Where the hell does a 16 year-old come up with the cash to buy an rx8 let alone afford the insurance on it?! Selling drugs is a very sketchy thing to do man >< plus if that was the case then you should have bought a VIP Lexus man. -.-
But yes, a leak..
Well if there are no fluids on the ground, and your exhaust smells like a mix of oil and gas then your car smells like normal, it's a rotary, the smell is quite beautiful!
You possibly could have damaged the cat as you hit a ditch, thus causing the smell to be 'intensified'.
Just my two cents.
