Fixing a leak.  My old neighbor built circle track cars and after the ran the engine  he would shut it off...tape off every opening with duct tape then put a hose over the dip stick and hook up to a vacuum source.  He would then get his stethascope and listen in the area where the propane or carb fluid indicated a leak.  he used Rtv and calked into the area until the stethascope whistle stopped. too much vacuum will pull too much calk into the hole.

You can also use a smoke can that emits smoke and put it arounf the area you suspect and it will get sucked in.Sort of like what you see in those windtunnel test to check air flow.
