Hello,

Guys, need your input. It is not any of the gaskets above the flashtank. I have a one piece cobra flash tank. Orings are all new.

What I did manage to isolate is the leak is coming out of a small hole that "vents" out above flash tank. The whole goes all the way into the LPR and is actually b/n the LPR main body and LPR brass section which you pull to add or remove shims".

Its like a safety vent of some sort. Does anyone know why I am getting this leak? I tried replacing the o-ring where the brass section is but that didn't work?

Is my LPR bad..?? It doesn't creep or anything and recharges fast even through the leak... it is a really slow leak by the way. Loud enough to hear, but will last about 1-2 minutes after I shut off my Angel AIR and set it down.

any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike

check the orings on the LPR body, as well as grease them.

It may or may not be bad. Typically leaking from that hole is the LPR, you've correctly diagnosed that. Now as mentioned you can try just greasing the piss outa the o-rings, but it's better to removed the LPR (piston and body included) and replace all the o-rings then testing upon reassembly. It gives you a good excuse to remove the body of the LPR and grease it anyways.;)
