Claim 0:
1. A method of detecting an electrical leak, comprising:
(a) providing a voltage on item which is believed to have an electrical short or fault;
(b) providing a electrical short or fault detector, the detector comprises:
(i) a body, the body having an interior and an outlet fluidly connected to the interior,
(ii) a volume of electrically conductive liquid contained in the interior, and
(iii) a conductor electrically connected to the electrically conductive liquid;

(c) electrically connecting the conductor to the item believed to have an electrical short or fault;
(d) causing a stream of electrically conductive liquid from the outlet to the item believed to have an electrical short or fault; and
(e) during step “d”, an electrical current running through the stream of electrically conductive liquid to close a short circuit and issuing a signal indicating a fault or short regarding the item believed to have an electrical short or fault.
