Default Pressure Leak?

I purchased a Haier Dispenser about a week ago (my first one), and put a keg in about 5 days ago. It was working absolutely fine until tonight. When I went to pour a glass, I discovered I had no CO2 left! I am guessing I have a leak somewhere. Is there a way to pressure test my lines, or determine somehow where the CO2 leak is occuring? Also, will the beer be allright until I get the problem fixed?
Thanks for the help!

The good news is there are not a lot of areas where the gas can leak. With that said, use a soapy solution and swab all pressure connections and fittings to determine where the gas is escaping and repair. The beer in the keg probably degassed somewhat since there was no counter-pressure against it. Do not attempt to dispense any beer until the gas is replenished as this will degas the beer further.
