I have uibutton as property and releasing it in dealloc. I am just using it to hide or unhide but the frequency of its usage is quite high.

@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *object;

-(void)onsomebuttonclick
{
 object.hidden=true;
}

- (void)dealloc {
 [object release];
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
   [self setObject:nil];
}

Answer 1

Why not just run

(a) the static analyser

(b) Instruments with the leak tool enabled

or

(c) use ARC?

Answer 2

That should work fine. As a note, you should set self.object = nil; instead of releasing it to prevent accidental use of the released object.
