I had this problem and replaced the valve. Later I learned that you can just
replace the packing OR... just tighten the nut on the packing (underneath
the valve handle at the base there should be a nut... tighten it a quarter
turn to see if that helps).

Other then of course using a lighter how does one go about telling if they
have a propane leak.  Generally when I fill the tank and have the fridge
going I can smell propane outside on the drivers side.  Thanks in advance.
