Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Having just switched gas suppliers...
Propane for propane, but we ran into the same issue. The incoming crew managed to loosen a pipe joint inside the house when they reefed on the regulator to get to the mfg. date. (Which is on the back side, FFS!)

The joint that let loose was on the steel standpipe where the appliance lines tap off from. I would suspect something like that before the shut-off valves.

Regardless of all that, the usual way to chase down a gas leak is to spray soapy water on the suspected spots. The bubbles will give the leak away.

My wife was the one present for the swap-out and she's out of town (in a cell phone dead zone...) I'll update the post with the conditions under which the pressure test was performed if I can get a hold of her.
New Thanks.
The regulator on the house slid off pretty easily (once I'd wrenched on the little propane line that tied into it) and none of the appliances had been touched prior to my "pressure test." The soap suds idea I was familiar with, but (1) I'm too lazy and (2) I don't really want to be the ONE who says, "All good here" on house gas lines for the reason Peter cited.

I *should* know where the leak is tomorrow and it *should* be fixed tomorrow as well (I have professionals scheduled to come to the house tomorrow).

Thanks again for the input!

New Hope you kept them away from the water lines...
That was Part Deux for us. The crew managed to yank the water heater outlet pipe off-kilter while repairing the gas leak. Took 'em another three visits to finally get the water leak fixed :-/
