You can get smoke matches which gas engineers use. Light them somewhere in the pipework and seal off the end with a tube and then blow into the tube to force the smoke out and you will see it appearing on any gaps if you look carefully.

FYI - foot pump attached direcly to the EBV take off prior to throttle body + spray bottle of soapy water works quite well too (if tiring)
