What is the best way to track down a memory leak that is only found on one customer's test/release box, and no where else?

We know that a program should call couple of malloc/calloc and same number of free calls. If the number of malloc/calloc calls are greater than number of free calls then we are sure a memory leakage happened. So the way to detect memory leak is to trace the calls.
To find a memory leak, look at how much RAM the system is using. The Resource Monitor in Windows can be used to accomplish this. In Windows 8.1 and Windows 10: To open the Run dialogue, press Windows+R, then type "resmon" and click OK.
To find memory leaks and inefficient memory usage, you can use tools such as the debugger-integrated Memory Usage diagnostic tool or tools in the Performance Profiler such as the . NET Object Allocation tool and the post-mortem Memory Usage tool.

(This question is kinda funny, cause I am tracking a mem leak that isn't present on my machine ...)

Try a memory profiler like ANTS Profiler.
