Here is the Tester I own and use, but any shop will have one, or any of this type will help.

The blue fluid when in contact with the carbon-monoxide (I believe is the gas that does it) turns green if just a small amount, or yellow if large leak.

Nice. I may pick up one just for the hell of it. Necessary tools for a Subaru owner!
