A quick and dirty method is to thoroughly clean the suspect area then soak it with penetrating oil overnight. Clean the surface around the suspected cracks with alcohol and wait a few minutes. The oil will wick out of any cavities such as a crack and show up on the clean surface. It's not 100% effective for very fine cracks but it works pretty well.
