All the time. In fact, according to neighbors, the previous owners
used it like that for years.


I would consider this a serious situation. I don't believe there is any
way the igniter could be causing a leak. It should not take a pro long to
discover and fix the leak. He should also be able to fix the slow start
issue.


Your situation could be dangerous. Don't trivialize this.

I'm a long way from a repair guy, they charge 2 hours travel time.
I have a gas leak in the oven.
I know the igniter is bad because it takes a long time to light the
oven, but do igniters leak gas
I was told there is a valve in the oven as well that might be
leaking. The stove is a Magic Chef in great shape but at least 12
years old.
I would replace the igniter if I was pretty sure it was the cause
of the leak. If I have to replace the valve as well I would
probably replace the stove. I never use the broiler. Is it possible
to use the broiler igniter in the oven?

Thanks for any pointers guys.
