I was told by Don Goetz many years ago to just put fuel in and look for the obvious. I did not want to as I was building in my garage and though I could test the tank without fuel. I decided to to the balloon technique and thought I had the wing sealed.
Years later I was pulling a fresh painted wing off to solve a fuel leak. They are not hard to fix. The trick is to find it before the airplane is finished. 
I wished I had just done what I was told and put fuel in the the tank, fill it to the top and look for the obvious. 
No fuel no leak.
If there is fuel, you now know that you have a leak and also where it is....

 I am trying to find out a way to find a small leak in a IVP wing. I hooked up an altimeter to vent line, and it slowly rises over time. I tried to introduce smoke into the system, then put slight pressure into the wing, and still no sign of any visible smoke. I also tried a sniffer with the smoke in the wing, but I never found a leak. Any other ideas?????
 Thanks, Guy Foreman
