Whats the Best Way to Ceck for Vaccum Leaks?

I think I have some vaccum leaks and I was wondering what the best way to check for them was.

spray carb cleaner around your engine bay....when you hear your idle smooth out...the vac leak is in that area.

I use Starter Fluid. Others use Propane gas. Others water, carb cleaner etc.

NOTHING will blow up if you use Starter Fluid while idling. Works everytime. Can't miss.
