I recently made a counterflow chiller out of some spare copper pipe I had laying around. It was in pretty bad condition to begin with, and I kinked it a good bit as I formed it. The outer part where the tap water flows doesn't appear to have any leaks, but I'm afraid I may have kinked the inner copper enough to tear a hole.
Any bright ideas on testing this thing for leaks? I thought about running a recirc loop through it from my HLT and testing for volume loss, but I don't think this would reveal any very small leaks without taking a very long time, and I don't want to leave my pump running for more than a few hours.
