Gas smell inside house when heater starts

Have replaced heat exchange, have had technition out twice. No gas leaks located. When carrier central heater comes on there is a faint smell of gas coming through the vents particularly the vents that are a fair distance away from the heater itself. Can it be leaking elsewhere and being sucked in to the unit prior to the burners igniting? The smell is only for about 2 seconds. Please help, I'm at my wits end..
