read somewhere about spraying "easy Start" around the suspect area, if you have a leak it will be drawn in causing engine speed to rise ?

sometimes spraying a little wd40 around the area will make the idle pick up if you hit a leak

Small rubber pipe, stick one end near your ear and the other around the engine and listen.

But don't get too close or it will suck your brain out.
