The other way to search for a leak blocking off all the openings to hold low air pressure (4-6 lbs) and use the soapy water trick to pinpoint your leaks if any. It can be seals, gaskets or even a cracked or corroded case.

Whatever you do, good luck!

X2 There are good videos on YouTube describing exactly how to do the pressure test.
