Hey guys. I just got my 468 together yesterday and now I found that I have a leak somewhere in my brake booster or something. You can actually hear it hissing and when you press the brakes the rpms change. Any way to tell where my leak is? I really don't know much about the brake system so if you could let me know I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

My guess is the booster or where the MC meets the booster. I have never had to check for a leak in these areas but wouldnt the same method of checking a propane tank for pressure leaks work? ie, put some thick soapy water (not suds mind you, but soapy water) around the booster and the MC and have someone pump the brakes while you watch for bubbles?
