I have seen a similar line of code floating about in Apples code:

(void)[[URLRequest alloc] initializeRequestWithValues:postBody url:verifySession httpHeader:nil delegate:self];

URLRequest is my own custom class. I didn’t write this and I think the guy that did just grabbed it from Apple’s example. To me this should leak and when I test it I’m pretty sure it leaks 16 bytes. Would it? I know how to fix it if it does but wasn’t sure as it was taken from Apple’s code.

EDIT: The problem was with the SDK, not the above code. See answer below for further details

    Thought I might update this as after further testing and the release of iOS4 it has changed.

    The above code doesn’t leak and the memory footprint of the App returns to normal even after 200 iterations of the code. The leak did occur in iOS3 but was very small, in iOS4 it has completely disappeared both in simulator and device.

    Some might wonder why you would want to implement this code but it works and make sense when dealing with lots of different NSURLConnections throughout your code running simultaneously.
