I hope you cleaned and re-gapped the spark plugs, assuming you have used pump petrol – the colour just tells you the fuel air ratio might be a bit rich on tick over.
You suggest the car smells stronger first thing; this suggests there is a leak in the fuel system rather than the engine producing the smell when running.
Redex will not make any difference to this, but if you ran the fuel tank low put in Redex for a full tank, run the car to mix it in, now any leaks will probably have an oil (Redex) stain highlighting its position. Places to look, pipes under the car running from tank to engine and tank to charcoal canister, charcoal canister purge valve (closed with engine off open with engine running and warm) filler pipe assembly and filler cap, tank, filter body, note there are bits of flexible pipe which are likely to leak. If you open and re-fit the filler cap late at night, when car and fuel is cold, then check for leaks when the sun is well up the fuel system will be under pressure and more likely to show the leak.
Re-fill the tank after finding the leak to dilute the Redex.
