I have my first kegerator now. Have had it 3 days and the CO2 canister was emptied last night. How do you find a leak when this happens?

It's a Kenmore from OSH but I think Haier makes the unit. It didn't come with the CO2 bottle gasket to the coupling but my homebrew store gave me one when I filled the bottle.

Hi Gerry,
  Take an old bottle of fantastic and fill it water (so it's mostly water) and then spray it on your couplings and hoses.  The leak will start bubbling, just like a hole in a bike tire
