highly doubt it's coming from the exhaust as all fuel undergoes combustion prior to being expelled via the exhaust, but it shouldn't be a worry unless you see a significant drop in your fuel milage or it starts blowing black smoke

Most cars tend to run rich on cold start-up anyways. Wouldn't worry about it unless its there all the time. And if you have breathing mods of any kind its likely to be even more obvious. Enjoy the fresh whiff of petrol first thing in the morning :)
