Finally got everything else under control and concentrated on the gas smell. I found that the automatic oven shutoff valve was leaking under the back plate. The o ring seal was mispositioned and it must have been leaking since 1976! In the process I found a handy way to test with soapy water. I filled one of my wifes spray bottles and was able to spray upward from beneath fittings and generally get the solution on stuff that would have been hard to get at otherwise.
