You spray the connections. Typically you will have a line that comes out of the wall with valve. Then the flex line connects from the valve to the dryer. Spray soapy water solution on the valve connections and flex line connections. To check for leaks as leaks usually occur at connections. The gas in the line is under pressure if a connection is leaking the soapy water will bobble if the connection is not complete. I did not go back and reread your post if smell only occurs when dryer is used it may be a venting issue and not a supply issue or it may just be the new dryer burning off. If it is a supply line issue the leak will be on going and not just when the dryer is in use.
If you think you have a gas leak, I would call gas supplier and see if they charge for sending a tech out. Where I live they do not in fact they will even come do a CO check for no charge. Good PR and good for safety.

>Thanks for the input Robert. Do you spray the connection at the wall or is it all around the tubing where the gas would have settled? Some of the tubing is easily accessible, the connection would require a bit of muscle to move the dryer out.
