Bubble Detector Leak Testing Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 125 other vehicles, including the 2003 Dodge Ram Van, 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, and 2002 Saturn SL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This leak detection method is recommended when it is impossible or difficult to determine the exact location of the leak using other methods. Although commercial bubble detectors are more effective, household soap solutions may be used.

Using dauber that comes with commercial soap solution, apply solution to all joints, connections, fittings or controls where a leak might be suspected. If high-suds household solutions are used, apply with a small brush. Wherever bubbles form, leaks are present and must be repaired. Check entire system, as there may be more than one leak.
