how does it find the leak? H2 infrared is significantly different in magnitude?

It's the wavelength of the flame that messes us up. It's very blue, with large parts of the energy placed in the invisible UV-range. (It's also strong in the IR range due to water.)

Ah, it is only when leak is burning. What does it mean "due to water"? AFAIK thermal shows IR so that is the relevant part.

When hydrogen is burning, water is formed.
