    You can use vaseline to check for leaks at the joints.

    How do you use Vaseline to check for leaks? I'm sure the answer will be obvious and I will look dumb, but I've just never heard anything about this...

    Merci beaucoup!

    Vaseline is thick and forms a pretty good seal for checking suction leaks. Unless the leak is large the vaseline won't get sucked in as would water or something thinner.
