Bike tube leak finder
An old bicycle inner tube can be cut opposite its valve and the now open ends clamped onto a radiator's inlet and outlet. Install the radiator cap and use a hand pump to add a pound or so of air through the tube's valve stem. A spray of soapy water will reveal the holes, which may then be soldered and the process repeated until all the leaks are stopped.

Re: Bike tube leak finder
Brilliant Idea!! and that idea could be applied to other things eg old boilers and things that need to hold in water/fluids
Now why didn't I think of that!!
