Default new Jenn air burner valve, Leaking?

I just installed a new burner valve (far left)on a dual fuel slide in Jenn Air range and my wife claims to smell gas. Now I don't want to just dismiss her claim but I have a lot better nose then she does and I don't smell anything, but this is obviously something i don't want to take a chance on so how can I be certain it is not leaking.

I would go down to your local hardware store, and they should have a bottle of gas leak bubbles tester, it has an applicator brush on it, then just apply it all around the new valve you installed.
