In the original videos I linked, I included one from Steve Vance where he covers the Amprobe which is expensive; however, there are plenty of less expensive alternatives:

Thank you for referring my Amprobe video. The one you linked, is actually the “short version”, here is the prior one that is a bit more detailed:

I know it’s one of those stupidly expensive tools, but I gotta tell ya, it’s ridiculously valuable to find an air leak..and here’s why! It’s so sensitive and precise that you can merely POINT IT at a compartment and it’ll tell you if there’s an air leak in there..yes, ya gotta open the door though. LOL
Yes, bubbles work well WHEN you can access each fitting…one at a time. You’ve also gotta deal with the mess/water. Definitely the cheapest way to go. However, for speed, accuracy, blind/tight locations, and mess-free use, the Amprobe can’t be beat.
Geesh, you’d think I was a salesman for Amprobe…right? But nope. ;-)
