You can use poolmon.exe or use perfmon to monitor the non-paged pool for
possible leaks. See here:

The Non Paged Pool is an area of memory that cannot be paged out to the
pagefile, it remains in memory as long as it is allocated or until an
application using it is terminated. Depletion of the pool is usually
caused by poorly written applications or buggy drivers. It may be
helpful if you tell us what else is running on the server, Exchange for
one example can affect the non-paged memory significantly.
