If you have a cooling system pressure tester, you can pressurize the system
to whatever the recommended rating of the cap is for your car and look for
leaks that way. I'm lucky enough to have such a tester (swapped for some
cylinder head work on a Vega), but otherwise it's going to be a case of
drying off the manifold with rags or towels, run the engine for a minute
and get down there with a mirror and look. A spare rear view mirror from
that scrapped out chassis behind the house is always a handy diagnostic
tool. :)
