That should have been done when everything was installed, it's code.
Then when the gas company turns on the gas, they do the same thing.
If you have a real fear of a leak, the LAST thing you should be doing is doing this yourself. If you're jut being paranoid, knock yourself out.

I agree with Scott, There is a product called big blue, you can find it at refrigeration supply houses, it lays on thick and will find very micro leaks, it kinda sticks to the pipe, joints, the hole sha bang a bang, it will form kinda a foam of bubbles at a very small leak, and blow larger bubbles at a big leak, also if you have a regulator at the generator, be sure to check the vent on the regulator itself, in the event that it may be bypassing the regulator.
sounds like you might wanna call a plumber friend....just my
