Can I use compressed air (regulated of course) to find a coolant leak? if so would the car need to be @ operating temp? also if the leak is at the point where the timing cover meets the block could antifreeze enter the crankcase?

Drill hole in large rubber bouncy ball then stick air nozel through the ball, makes tight seal.
