To do a boost leak you'll need to unhook the accordion hose and hook up a boost leak tester.
These can be made using at home materials. Here's a quick DIY I found on how to make one click HERE
Once you have this made and you have it hooked up to the accordion hose use an air compressor to compress the intake system to 20 psi.
If you have a boost leak the intake system will not hold the pressure and you'll hear the leak.
I hope this helps!

There's really no way to check for bubbles but you can just flush the system and refill it with the cap off which should get most of the air out.
The slight overheating might be something else like a coolant temp sensor.
