Please do not say I need to replace it, I know that is the wiser move. I cannot afford $129 more for an elbow when I just spent $307 on a lousy manifold.

I have 2 elbows I need to test. Any way to do so?

If you replaced the manifold, you should replace the riser. Usually risers fail faster than manifolds.

I would agree, but the manifold cracked internally and externally because one of the previous owners did not drain properly. I do not see any visual crackes on the elbow like I did on the manifold. But you know how that goes. I will let the next owner buy the riser elbow, I just want to sell it with a non leaker.
