Pull the line at the shut off actuator, see if there's any oil there. The actuator may be a bit shinier than you would think, that may be a clue to it's age. AFAIK, you can't pull it apart to check for a torn diaphragm.
You'll see the different color metal on mine, it has been replaced.
The second pic is of the old one.
