    I recently got an oil change and started to smell gas outside my tacoma and inside the garage after it's been parked all night. I took it for a drive a day after and still smell it slightly. I checked my gas cap and it's secure, I did not notice any gas on my garage pad and have not noticed my fuel gage losing any gas. I have had no check engine lights. I'm not sure what to do next?

    Check under the hood, passenger side. High pressure fuel pump maybe the source

    You mention 27,000KM, so it does not appear you are in the US. Anyway, here is info on the US Tacoma fuel pump recall.

    Pop the hood and make sure they put the oil cap back on. Crankcase fumes can seem fuelly sometimes..

    I remember receiving a notice in the mail about this. I forget what the culprit is but may want to check with your local dealer. It's either a recall or TSB of some sort.
