How to detect a memory leak?

I'm using a Ubuntu Lucid box at work which just runs for ever (almost never shut it down). Since upgrading to Lucid I've noticed that after 2 or 3 weeks w/o rebooting, memory usage becomes huge: RAM completely full (3GB) and 6 GB swap.

I suspect this is caused by some app (or driver) leaking memory, but I have no clue which one it might be, because memory usage increases very slowly.

So, I need a program to detect if ANY process in my system is slowly leaking memory.

What I think would do it is a program which takes a daily measurement of the memory usage of each process (like top or htop), and shows me the evolution of that usage over the time.

Googled for it. Found nothing.

    Please post what processes and modules you have active -- perhaps someone in your situation will find this question in the future and benefit from it. – Lakritsbollar Mar 09 '12 at 20:32
