fill a barrel up with water, seal off one opening on the intercooler with duct tape, duct tape your air hose into the other end (or hook the hose of a shop vac to the exhaust and put that on the intercooler) and put the intercooler underwater. if bubbles come out, than thats where your leak is

any large truck shop can do it (kenworth, frieghtliner, volvo, etc.) I doubt they would charge you too much.
