    Default Hard to Finding small air leaks

    After 6 yrs of chasing air leaks, I am down to the hard-to-find ones on the following items & have replaced all of the following over time. The leaks were very small and difficult to detect. I am at the point where my brake tanks stay up for weeks and my Aux tank drops down to 60 PSI overnight and then slowly down to zero over the following week.
    I have accepted the leaks will never get to zero and if I do get them to zero it won’t last for long.
    * End caps on Norgren valves
    * Pressure regulators for engine belts and generator air bags
    * On/off valve for engine belt air bags
    * Drain valves on tanks
    * Pressure relief valve on air dryer
    * Pressure regulator line to engine air compressor governor
    * Air valve for steering wheel adjustment
    * Parking brake valve by driver's seat
    * Connectors on back of front & rear brake tank dash gauges and Aux tank dash gauges
    * Quick connections for external portable air hose. The female connector leaks internally at the O ring and is hard to detect.


    Hope this helps

    P.S. And there's also the interior pocket doors and entry step cover air cylinders.

    I put a quarter turn shut off valve on the QD connects for that very reason.
