Answer 5

Try making some soapy water with dish washing soap (Dawn, etc.) and wet the ball.  Then, either squish the ball or just watch it and see if it makes bubbles in the water.  (Don't create too many suds in your application of the soapy water or you will have difficulty seeing the new bubbles formed by a leak).
