there's a few ways to do this.. either you can go buy a leak detector or the cheap way like most of us do it is get a squirt bottle put a dish soap in it and then fill it up with water. just enough dish soap so its kinda slippery to the touch. then spray it on all the joints and coil and watch for bubble's..
