Also, if you have a aux compressor with it's own tank, make sure you drain that one often, I get a little moisture out of mine everytime I drain it and I do it often.
I had just drained the tanks, replaced the dryer filter in the steering bay, but I agree the O Ring did look a little funky and the end of the spring, the magnet end looked like it had some oily film on it at the contact point, but otherwise the O rings looked like new, just some crap on on one edge of the large O Ring. Glad to know how to repair this now and what it does in the first place. After about ten years I might, just might have a handle on these important items.
