I’ve seen homemade pressure testers and am thinking about making one some day when I have time. You need an adjustable air pressure regulator that you can easily adjust over a range htat includes good resolution from near zero to around 10 pounds (psi). Those made for CO2 gas for beer keg tap setups will work, and have the pressure gauge on it. You need to make up the connector to screw into the motor’s gear oil vent hole and also attach a fitting to connect the input to an air compressor. Here is an example of a regulator that should work on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/PERA-Regulator-Pressure-CGA-320-Brewing/dp/B082XQZSZK/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?crid=1DDF54M6IL37E&dchild=1&keywords=co2+pressure+regulator+for+beer&qid=1626099637&sprefix=CO2+pressure+regulator%2Caps%2C228&sr=8-4-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQ0MyTVBaVFlLVTJSJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODg4MDUzM0pDQUdSTEJLWVBJVyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTYxMzkxMzdaVldOU0w0TlJWTiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
