I usually throw in a test CD and play a 10-15 Hz tone at a good volume so you can really see the driver moving.
You can usually hear if you have any leaks... they sound like rattles at that level. I just take the palm of my hand and feel for air blowing out anywhere (sometimes I might even lick my palm to make it easier to feel air moving across it).
This has also worked for ported enclosures for me too.
Most common area for me to find leaks are around the driver flange.
