Manuel, like you I was convinced the ultrasonic leak detector was going to be the holy grail for finding air leaks. The reality, I haven't found a single leak yet with my ultrasonic leak detector. There are some great threads on this site for finding and fixing air leaks, along with how to make tools to facilitate your search.
I also feel that with a little effort we could make the maintenance a whole lot easier. As Richard has suggested, a manifold to isolate all the systems. In addition to that, sensors to monitor all the individual systems. I'm not trying to go into detail that I know nothing about, but CAN bus is being used in lots of automation for manufacturing. Think of a TPMS monitoring air pressure on all 18 wheels of a semi. The individual sensors can't be that pricy and a program to monitor them full time can't be that complicated.
