If you are looking for a leak at idle (ie when manifold is under vacuum) just get a can of carbie cleaner and spray it around the places you want to check. If there is a leak the carbi cleaner will be sucked in and the idle will increase. You could also use WD40 or anything like that.
Try not to spray near any source of ignition as the stuff is obviously flammable and you don't want any mishaps.
It works well on manifold leaks and vacuum lines but I have never tried it on IC piping.
