the inside crack on the LPG pipelines can be tracked by using Magnetic Flux Leakage pig or Transverse Flux Leakage pig inside the pipeline.

With my knowledge you have to go NDT test to identify any crack or fraction on inside surface but you can use N2(g) to check are there any leak existing along the pipe line or flanges and then if found use detergent/soup to identify exact place where leaking.
