A device for detecting a leak in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine including a piston in the cylinder, the piston being attached to a crankshaft, includes a time interval determining unit which is designed to determine a first time interval in which the crankshaft passes a preset first angle segment before reaching the ignition top dead center of the piston in the cylinder, and to determine a second time interval in which the crankshaft passes a preset second angle segment after reaching the ignition top dead center of the piston in the cylinder, and a cylinder leak determining unit which is designed to detect a leak in the cylinder as a function of the first time interval and as a function of the second time interval.
