 +You can put your hand near the pipes at likely places for leaks (exhaust ports, any joints) and see if you can feel air escaping. ((Folkie of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=5107303&​highlight=stethoscope#​post5107303)) \\
 +But, be careful not to burn yourself on the pipes.
 +===== Smoke Test =====
 +When oil is added to the combustion chamber, the result is smoke coming out of the exhaust. \\
 +The oil burns and comes out as smoke. ((Folkie of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=5107303&​highlight=stethoscope#​post5107303)) \\
 +The smoke should just come out the ends of the mufflers. \\
 +If smoke is coming out anywhere else, that's where your leak is. \\
  
 +Test one cylinder at a time. \\
 +
 +  - Pull a spark plug.
 +  - Add a spoonful of standard motor oil in the cylinder.
 +  - Reinstall the plug.
 +  - Fire up the engine. ​
 +  - When it starts to smoke put a rag in the exhaust pipe and look for leaks. ​ It helps if you have a buddy hold the rag
