Is at hand a instrument to trademark these tiny gas leak from the exterior of the steel pipes?
Answers: The problem is that the electronic sniffers will read up to 50ppm which will not show up on a bubble. the solitary way to fix it is to enjoy a licenced technician to disassemble and re-dope the fittings and sign a work-order stating all leak were checked and repaired .
Yes and epoxy would work fine, but I would recommend weld it if it was not a gas dash...Good Luck
If you have any more question just ask,

PS Best answer appreciated
If it be my house, I would replace the suspect pipes with 'black iron' gas pipe. (Do not use galvanize pipe - the odorant in the gas contains sulfur, which react with the zinc, cause pinholes.)
I would not want the liability of defective gas pipes hanging over my organizer, especially if the seller read the inspector's report.
Using an epoxy to trademark the pipe is hit-or-miss. You would have to verbs the pipe extremely well to assure a moral bond, and there is no assurance the epoxy will provide a remaining solution.
The gas company and furnace installer only check for leak at pipe joints. If the plumbing installation be done properly, they would have used gas-compatible PTFE (Teflon) cartridge or PTFE pipe dope, and you would not have any gas leak.
get a sniffer and check again. conceivably it's the shutoffs. if your not finding anything, get another inspector, you don't requirement a lawsuit.
Replace the piping.
