    On my first bus I spent far too many hours attempting to isolate and fix leaks. Never again.

    Now, being old, lazy, grumpy, and less patient I use a scorched earth method of fixing leaks. I just replace every valve, all push in fittings and anything else that might leak, including air bags every 10 years.

    In between like everyone else I realize I am leaking again, but as long as the leaks are not catastrophic I accept them as inevitable and wait until the parts are 10 years old and start again. One thing I do now is only use Swagelok compression fittings because they are the only ones I have ever used that are leak free 1% of the time
