The present invention relates to a method for checking and/or monitoring the leak tightness of a plurality of pneumatically or hydraulically actuated actuators of a machine, in particular a plurality of valve actuators of a medical treatment machine, wherein pressure is exerted on the actuators in different combinations during the operation of the machine, wherein the common pressure drop occurring during a stationary operating phase at the actuators on which pressure is exerted in the respective combination is measured for a plurality of different combinations of actuators on which pressure is exerted, and wherein a respective leak tightness value is determined for individual actuators and/or groups of actuators with the pressure drop which is measured for those combinations and in which the respective actuator and/or the respective group of actuators on which pressure is exerted being taken into said leak tightness value. The invention furthermore includes a machine, in particular a medical treatment machine, having a corresponding valve actuator monitoring.
