A microwave leak detector actually detects microwave electromagnetic energy. There are a number of different types, and it might be best to touch on them before finishing up.
One way to divide microwave leak detectors is by the "quality" of the insturment. There are a number of "cheapie" units that will give an indication of leakage, and then there are the really expensive survey meters that cost hundreds of dollars and should be calibrated at least annually. Both respond to microwave energy, and you can see where this is going.
If you suspect a leak in an oven, it is best to call and ask about a "professional" checkup. It's cheaper to take a machine in than to have someone come by, but for builtin units, you don't have much choice. Make a call and ask a few questions to see what can be done and for how much.

Have a shop perform a leak test with a halogen detector.

Leakage of microwave radiation past the door seal in a microwave oven.
The types of gases a gas leak detector detects is the not the regular kind. It detects some poisonous gases and gases harmful to your lungs or you in general.
Ultrasonic leak detectors, are also referred to as acoustic gas leak detection systems. They are designed to detect gas leakage at outside facilities.
In general, a microwave leak detector is an electronic device used on microwave ovens to check for leaks around the door seal. The device "looks for" microwave energy that might be getting past the seals. There are a number of different types ranging from "cheapie" meters to "survey units" that cost hundreds of dollars and should be calibrated yearly.

A portable handheld radio receiver operating in the microwave band, that when it detects microwave RF above a certain strength it gives some form of warning signal. This warning may be audible, visual, or be shown on the face of a meter.
