Connect the top and bottom radiator hoses together, put a loop of heater hose across the heater supply ports, and pump the system up to about 20 PSI or so. If there's a seep leak, it will probably turn into a spray. I've even pressurized a block with a garden hose at times to find pinhole leaks! Jerry
