Doesnt pressure-ise the system tho so bit pointless unless its a big leak.  Sometimes leaks are there under pressure.  And when you think you have 20psi of pressure going through them..

But it's blowing smoke out of any leak you may have? Mine sounds like a f***ing tank so I guess it will show anyhow :\
