    Lew;
    I use a bicycle inner tube to check radiators. Cut it apart so you have 
the valve stem and long enough to connect to both ihe upper and lower 
outlets. Clamp the ends with a hose clamp and close filler and drain 
openings and inflate the inner tube. Large leaks will be very evident and 
slow leaks can be detected with the residual pressure of the inner tube and 
a little soapy water.
