You can spray a soapy mix of water on the fittings to see where the leak is. They also make a spray that is used to check gas lines. You might want to check Home Depot or Lowes.
I would go ahead and re wrap the fittings with Teflon tape just to be sure.

10lbs last about ~5-6 months depending on your bubble rate
 Luckily its pretty cheap to get refilled.
