Abstract
An apparatus and method for leak detection through use of an adapter containing a chamber, an air pressurization port, and detection media instillation port. The apparatus is sealingly or relatively sealingly coupled to a turbo inlet air duct on an internal combustion engine under study, such that the apparatus chamber communicates with the engine's interior void. The apparatus permits pressurized air and detective media, such as smoke or fog, to be introduced through the chamber and into the void of an engine to determine the presence and location of engine system leaks.
