Had the same trouble with my Castile. Dealer had to come out twice and seal all the vent pipes. Still smell a little smoke now and then, but have never seen any since his last visit.

If you have a pull out heat exchanger tube cleaner rod there is a tiny gap around the rod on the Lopi Leyden which is open to the firebox. Very small gap. I normally can't smell any smoke, but if it's really windy outside while it's starting up I can smell it a little until it lights and the fire gets going.
Sometimes the stove adapter is RTV sealed and screwed to the stove, unscrew any screws and wrestle off the adapter. It may be easier to add more RTV to seal the leak your seeing?
