Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: if it's safe to do so from outside, note whether the smell is near the unit only or spreading through the room. Also, if you smell gas, don't check anything yourself — shut off the gas supply valve if it's safely reachable, open windows, and don't touch switches or open flames. If none of that changes anything, any further diagnosis — finding the actual leak point — needs a combustible gas detector and licensed training, not a nose and a guess.
