I know there is fe ways of checking suck as placing the system under vacuum or pressure but I was just curious of the way som of you fellow CRD owners go about it. Thanks

I got a pair of PVC end caps sized to fit inside the rear ends of the boost hoses. Drilled one of them for a tire valve stem. Pressurized it to 20 psi. Mine dropped maybe 3 psi in 10 minutes. My wife's dropped everything in 1 minute and i found the leak in the same corner as Sam's. Still debating when to pull it out and fix it.
