Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: if it's safe to do so from outside, note whether the smell is near the unit only or spreading through the room. Beyond that, any further diagnosis — finding the actual leak point — needs a combustible gas detector and licensed training, not a nose and a guess.
