I don't know if its the best but you can spray starting fluid around the area that you think is leaking...if the rpm's go up then you have a leak because the fluid was sucked into the motor.

The factory manual states a method of cutting a fuel filter in half, installing a valve stem and hooking it up to the intake in place of the Air Flow Meter.

Then you pump air into it and check for leaks =)
