Get some copper tube about 12"long, bend a L shaped hook at one end, then connect the other end to a stethoscope, its good for picking up on hard to find vacuum leaks too ....

Get a small plastic hose and on one end set it to wear you think the leak is at then put your ear in the other end.you'll hear a sputter when your close to the leak .also run it around your header bolts and by the header gasket.
