what soap are you usng? buy a bottle of gas leak soap. me I,d pull the unit, in a nice quite area no wind hook a air bottle up about 5# should do and start testing. p.s 5# is more than enough.

My stove will give off the LP gas smell when the tank is getting low.
Best to have it checked, tho.

oven pilot light should only release gas when the "pilot" position is pushed in (either as a seperate knob or part of the oven temp) If is working properly NO propane is release otherwise if the pilot is not lit. The thermocouple only allows gas to continue to flow if the pilot is lit.
To the OP. did you check for leaks around each of the lines to the burner controls?
Another check. with all the controls off, using a flame like from a lighter if you put the flame near any of the burner outlets any indication of propane from a bigger flame? Possible that one of the burner controls is leaking at the output.
