See the little copper tube, like a wire? That's a thermocouple that has the other end in the pilot fire to check if the fire is lit before it allows the burner to light.

See the slightly fatter aluminum-looking tube? That's the pilot gas tube that carries the gas from the gas valve to be the fire in the pilot light.

Follow either or both until the the end of the tubes where the pilot will be located.
