You will see the leak as it will blow out a bubble as large as an orange..

Kids Bubble mix works well too.
They make leak spotter liquids , but I have been using shampoo for years ... I use it for pinpointing after I have located the general vicinity with my GE Halogen leak detector..
Hi, Arthur. Thanks again for coming to the rescue. Since this time the leak was so bad that the clutch wouldn't engage no more. Shoudl I ask the shop to blow nitrogen in there to check leak as you subscripe? Also, is it ture that I will have to get a "new" compresor if the leak is found to be from teh compressor itself?
