Intake leak? How the he1l does it know?

How does your car know if it has an air intake leak? I've been reading about these 2 errors I had gotten and it was a coincedence that I had just put on a CAI. How and where do you look for a leak in your intake? all the hoses are connected and a breather on the Valve cover there are no open holes on the intake tubing.

It doesn't. ECU won't know any air that's coming in after the MAF.

Then what does it mean? On the diagnosis for some of the DTC codes is a intake leak.
