    Lots of soapy water will show the leaks. A half day is a pretty slow leak, though, and if your trailer supply lines are leaking you might not get bubbles from those big holes. Get a couple glad hand ends and put plugs in them. Hook them to your trailer lines and see if the problem goes away.

    He can just hook the glad hands together. Same result.
