Found my Propane leak!!

 Sniffing around and could smell gas.  Sprayed everywhere.  Spun the shut off valve out to snug  on the outer seal and smell stops.
  So, be sure to open the valve all the way until  you feel the outer seal contact.  Just  like the manual says.

Unfortunately for me, open until snug became really snug and the valve stem in between closed and open was exciting.
