No, it would actually be VERY difficult to detect with any traditional leak detection methods. These leaks tend to be VERY slow leaking only about 5-10 psi per hour. That rate is insufficient to blow soap bubbles or move any but the lightest monofilament.
I've had my fair share of leaks similar to this with peek poppets, a dunk under water (more challenging with an electronic gun but doable if done with caution) has always revealed themselves with a tiny bubble escaping after a moment or two. No real risk when you only dunk a section of the gun at the time, in my instance the tip of the barrel, or with the barrel removed, the very top most portion of the air tube where the exit port terminates, meaning only 1-2mm of the gun is exposed to under water conditions.
