I found myself this morning with the (very literal) headache of a gas leak. Smell led me to the oven of my old stove. I removed the main pipe from the oven valve, applied soap to the valve exit, and it bubbles slowly alright. I don't ever use the oven, so I don't care for replacing the valve. So...
1. What easy ways to seal it are tehre? I don't mind messing the pipe in the process.
2. The pilot exit from the valve lets out a lot of gas, is that normal? I know it has a safety valve on the igniter, and it seems to be working (no bubbles on the pilot), but shouldn't the main valve close both pipes?
Thanks in advance.
