The "without suing any tool" part becomes a bit of a problem. One way you could check is just to run the application stressing it very hard over a long period of time and see if it "bleeds to death"--runs out of resources.

One of the developement teams where I used to work had an app that leaked like crazy, but could not find where. After about 2 days of use they found the server had blead to death, since there were 3 day weekends to consider they doubled the amount of RAM on the server and got a dirty fix. It leaked, but they could reboot before it blead to death. And by the way, yes, it was in MS Windows using VB not Java.
