You can pressure test it off the car. I would test it to at least 80 psi. The easiest way to do so is with air. Plug one of the oil ports and charge the other. I built a rig for pressure testing things that has a quick disconnect air fitting, then a ball valve, then a 3 way T with a pressure gauge on the second leg and the connection to what I want to test on the third. attach it to the device, connect it to the air compressor and charge it to the desired pressure, then close the ball valve and watch the gauge. If it starts to drop, then you have a leak.
