Air Leak, im stumped

[gain_man]

Hey everyone. My faithful 2k2 lcd finally gave out after 5 years of no problems. It is leaking from where the flash tank mounts to the body. It is coming out of the little vent notch on the side. I replaced the orings inside and still the same leak. I tried adding and removing shims, and still no fix. I am out of ideas. Anyone?

My spring stack is like this: |)()(----

Is that correct?

That should be right. Wait 'til one of the Master techs gets on here in the morning, they should be able to tell you what it is and how to fix it.

It also shows a grub screw under there. That could cause a leak in that region.

most likely a bad lpr

[gain_man]

bad lpr as in I need to replace it? Or just orings? Can you suggest exactly which parts and better performing alternitives?

[Shibbykins]

try orings first. if not the LPR is fried....
