Old NG furnace

Hi, folks. . .hoping you can help us.

I have poked into some ASHRAE books and may take a Community College course, but, in the meantime-

For our way-oversized 169,000 input BTU/hr 1982 natural gas furnace, are there some gas pipe joints that I should be regularly putting soap bubbles on to check for gas leaks?

I thought I smelled gas once but the GaCo tech said it was aldehydes.

Over the years I have had an HVAC guy replace the gas valve once (I don’t mess with gas piping) and I have replaced the air handler motor, inducer motor, circuit board for the inducer motor, and a relay on the control board.
When I get a 25 caliber bore brush I’ll clean the heat exchanger.

Also have put hardware cloth on the roof stack to prevent animals nesting. We have CO and smoke detectors.

If there’s anything I should buy from Grainger pls let me know.

Whatever y’all have to say will be helpful! :)
