You can make your own

You can also buy one through Princess Auto in Canada for $89.99 Canadian. Their catolog # is 4230769 It's an off shore unit, but probably good enough for you.
Their canadian phone # is 1-800-665-8685
or go to www.princessauto.com

It's actually called a leak down tester and they don't tell you if exhaust gases are present.
They tell you if the cylinders are leaking through the rings or valves.

sorry OBP , i think hes actually talking about one of thos head gasket leak detectors , that you stick on the radiator with the special fluid that picks up combustion gases in the coolant , if present the fluid in the tester then chages color , indicating a blown head gasket

but yeah , are genearlly availble at most parts stores, usually from 20-50$ , autozone , napa , kragen , just go ask a sales rep where they are
