Most reliable is a "smoke" test. The equipment is not cheap so you'll have to find a well equipped shop and be prepared to pay a diagnostic fee.
Spraying suspect areas with carb cleaner is one alternative. An unlit propane torch is another. Either will cause a change in the idle speed when the enrichment gets sucked into the intake through a leak.
