Advice required - RE Combi Boiler

Hey all,
We have a Combi 30 HE boiler in our rented house, and today we've noticed that when the heating/hot water starts up there is an initial smell of gas outside from the flue.
The smell is NOT inside the house, and does not occur when the boiler is switched off. The smell lasts for around 10-15 seconds, then goes.
Does this warrant contacting the landlord to request a gas engineer visit?
The boiler was last serviced in February, and passed fine.
For all we know, this could have been happening for a while, I just happened to notice as the hubby ran the hot water whilst I was hanging washing out!
Any advice gratefully received.
