One of the tanks not turned off tightly......
Then leak could be from around stem of packing gland on service valve. Service valves have double seats.....fully closes & fully open. In between packing seals the stem.

Pigtails between cylinders and regulator
Regulator itself
Feeder hose from regulator to distribution pipe

Any appliance gas valve
