I've got a tiny leak in my penguin (the inflatable one from SuSE) after my 7-year old dropped a heavy object on it. Can anyone suggest a way to find it, other than taking it to the local swimming pool at a quiet moment?

How big is it? Soapy water would be my first choice. Nick

Do you have a bathtub? -=-=- ... SYNTAX? Why not--they tax everything else! Http://tigger.tmcom.com/~josad
Method 1: Grab it totally in a bear hug and squeeze it as hard as you can...the leak will cause a rip to occur... and you can easily find a rip. Method 2: Take heavily soapy water (use dishwashing liquid) and rub it over the thing; that should be viscous enough so that when you hit the leak it'll make bubbles.

Can you submerge it in the bathtub? Water is the right idea. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Once in a moment, it all comes to you As soon as you get it, you want something new Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net
Desecration of The Sacred Symbol shall not be tolerated ::grin:: Use washing up liquid [you can water it down a bit, but make sure it doesn't lose too much of its viscosity] to cover the surface. Bubbles should appear at the leak :-) You could put it in a bathtub of water [if you have one] if you don't fancy the washing up liquid idea. Ooh, benefit of the washing up liquid idea - it cleans Tux :-) :-) We will overlook the desecration this once (-:
Used to work with hi-vacuum systems. ISTR we used some sort of Helium leak detector which involved filling the object in question with He gas? Probably *not* such a good idea with poor old Tux - Visions of chasing him around the ceiling - or worse still if you were to do the job outdoors <G> Chris

What about filling it up with some sort of liquid (of your choice of course..... you could combine it with a party?). cheers, Marcel
