I have had leaks at higher pressures that never showed at lower.

I have had leaks that showed at lower temps that didn�t show at higher
temps. (almost always at hose connection points)

But I have never had a leak in a core that showed at a lower pressure and
disappeared with higher pressure.  Usually become very obvious at higher
pressure.  Sometimes even spectacularly obvious.
