go to a swimming pool and inflate your kite, then check the LE underwater. observe if bubbles are coming out from somewhere in any spot, then ders the leak. and if there's no swimming pool, just pour water on your LE part by part then wait for then check for the bubbles again. try checking the seams too. i once had a difficulty finding the hole in my kite. then i later on found out it was just in the seam.

here's another trick, fill your LE with water, move that water SLOWLY from one side to the other, putting water pressure on every spot of your LE. water pressure is definitely greater than air pressure, the water will stretch the leak (but dont worry, it wont make it bigger) as it gets out of the LE.
and another one.... place ur LE in a bathtub. take a spray bottle and fill it with soapy water. spray around ur LE and see if there a bubbles coming out. it may take a while though b4 u actually find the leak. or as a preventive measure, try to apply aquaseal around the valves to avoid future leaks.
