Assuming your talking about the cooling system you need a pump and an adapter to screw onto your overflow bottle. You pump it up to about 1 bar and see if it holds. If it holds all is good. If it drops you have a leak.

Well youdont really presssure test a 12v because there is no turbo. What your looking for is a vacuum leak test. Best way to do that is to spray brake clean around the intake. The idle will either drop suddenly or rise suddenly if brake clean is sprayed into a leaky area.
