It's SpaceX, sister company of Tesla. They can have a small bot that goes around spraying and many cameras and other sensors observing. And given they're looking for potentially very small leaks from a pressurized system you wouldn't want a person physically present when the leak is discovered at high pressure anyways, not unless you want to see the effect of a very narrow high pressure stream hitting human skin (or a fast moving piece of hardware hitting their skull).

But it'd need really good resolution and dynamic range paired with flexible and fine motor control to lean into an engine and look for tiny bubbles. This is a research field of its own. Not something they just have. For example: Humans improve their visual perception by lightly shifting their heads to avoid reflections, gauge shadows and mitigate obstructions. If the tech can't follow, you have an inferior solution. A solution where bubbles will be missed. Just staring at a screen is not the same. Even if you can tilt the camera.
