Memory leaks are a nightmare. I know: I have some.
What is the most effective (least painful and time consuming) way to locate them?
I use Visual Studio 2010 and develop in C++ for Windows.

Smart Pointers is probably what you are looking for. At least when allocating objects.
For containers, use the STL where possible.
If you are looking for existing memory leaks, you can use DEBUG_NEW if you are in VS2010.
