Home Inspector detected (apparent) gas leak coming from inside my Maytag Neptune dryer (approximately 10 years old.) We performed soapy-water leak test on the gas line itself, but no leaks were detected. Had an appliance repairman come out and he performed the same test, but took dryer front off and also tested the fittings on the supply line from the back of the dryer to the dryer coil. Same result -- no leak detected. Don't know where to go from here...
The main valve in the burner may be leaking a little--if so, the valve assembly will need to be replaced. Did the repairman detect any gas as the home inspector did? Make sure the machine is level and does not rock in any direction that might fracture or loosen the incoming gas line. Have the gas supply company check for leak.
I'm from Minnesota and I have just got my building inspection completed. You can also have a look at this website:

It looks like you might need a new dryer. If your dryer is causing a gas leak to happen and you can not fix it from a pipe it might be time to get a new one. That way you can resolve the gas leak.I would have your property inspected one more time though to look for any leaks. http://www.cctaylorrealty.com/Property_Maintenance_Virginia_Beach_VA.html
