Have you tried spraying soapy water on things to find it?

I have an air leak under the dash in my C8500 1998 Chevrolet tractor 
mover.  I have the instrument cluster out and can barely reach to the 
fittings in the firewall.  Ther eis one line that goes from the parking 
valve to over the top of the steering column to who knows where.  My 
leak is somewhere beyond the air valve.  It really hisses.  I have 
replaced nearly all the fittings last spring on this thing.  I have an 
alcohol tank ordered.  Those quick connect fittings are a pain in the 
butt...  Does anyone have any experience with these..  Maybe Steve 
W..???  The factory service manual is $300+, and I have tried to 
download 2 times today and it failed.  I will wait until tonight after 
midnight to download...
