Our shop used to have a product for radiators- a small package of powder 
that you poured in the radiator to seal leaks.  I'm not sure how this 
material worked or what activated it, but you could dissolve it in 
water, fill your lines with this liquid, and then pressurize the lines.

An air system like you are building is a very common thing, maybe this 
problem has been solved before.  Have you done some google searching yet?
