Memory Leak in Windows Service written in C#

I have a Windows Service written in C#. Memory used by the application based on the System.Environment.WorkingSet is 33MB at the begining. on average it goes up by 50MB every day. It reaches about 700MB in about 14 days.

So to maintain the memory used by the application low, i have to restart the service. once i restart the service the memory used by the application changed to 33MB again.

I tried my best to clean up any resource i used on the code. but i still could not see any solution to this memory leak.

I will be thankful for your time and suggestions to this problem.

Thank you in advance!
Regards
Anu
