Depending on what is leaking, a variable wavelength light source or a themal imaging unit could help visualize a leak.

'Took me awhile to get what you're asking.

What you're looking for is a kind of paint that changes color if a certain chemical comes into contact with it? I don't really know of such a paint but we use a device to detect leaks. It "hears" the ultrasonic sound generated by leaking pipes. Check out their website www.uesystems.com.

There are spray on systems (aerosol cans) you can get as a 3x spray paint coatings

These will show up any cracks etc once the chemical has set.
