First thing I'd do is a negative pressure test. You place the far end of the upper joint against the palm of your right hand, cover holes with left hand fingers then place mouth up to top end (like you were about to play the trumpet) then suck the air out in little spurts. If adjusted correctly the joint should hold the air for at least 3 seconds (or better) tugging at your palm and fingers. You can add a positive test for good measure....listen for air leaking. Then do that for the bottom joint.
