Another simple method to locate leaks, is to find an old spray bottle....add
a little dishwashing liquid to water and spray it liberally on what ever is
leaking.....it will "blow bubbles"! Even the smallest of leaks can be
found. I use this method for finding natural gas, freon, propane, air or
other similar leaks.
Unfortunately it won't fix them.....
