Do you mean the air box vents?
Pull the inspections covers on the airboxes and have a look with a flashlight.Pumping the rad to 15 psi should force the leak to show.
Time to pull the sleeves and find that leaking "O" ring or that pin holed sleeve.
When putting it back together use the "N" series pistons/sleeves and at most N70 injectors.
The 53 seriws have updated blower seals and valve train springs. The 71 series may be upgraded as well.
Don't waste time and money grinding valves and seats. That sinks the valves and lowers the compression. It will make that detroit into a worse cold weather ether eater than what it already is.
New valves and seats set to max height or forget about it.
Make certain the sleeve protrusion is identical on all four and at speced height.
