Methods for detecting leaks in cars: 1. Visual inspection - when oil traces are found at a connection point in the system, there may be a leak; 2. Soap test - apply soapy water to various parts of the system, bubbles indicate the leak point; 3. Nitrogen test - fill the system with nitrogen at 10 to 20 kg pressure, immerse the system in water, bubbles show the leak location; 4. Halogen lamp detection - light the detection lamp, hold the air tube near the suspected leak, if the flame turns purple-blue, it indicates a significant leak; 5. Gas differential pressure method - use the pressure difference between inside and outside the system, amplified by sensors, to display results digitally, audibly, or via electronic signals; 6. Electronic leak detection - move a probe over all potential leak points, an alarm from the device indicates a significant leak.
