EXsoccer1921 may appear to be making a joke -- but it's true...if you block the exhaust at the outlet (with a rag over your hand) it will cause any leak to be very audible. Should be able to find a leak that way.

actually i was talking about having your hand about half an inch away from any welds and seeing if you can feel any exhaust gasses coming out. but i guess that works too
