    Your leak is worse than mine was. If I can't find an air leak, I get one of my kids to listen for the leak and they usually can find it. If they can't I break out the soapy water and a spray bottle.

    Is it not in your book on how to be a driver?

    correct
    My point was that if he is losing air pressure in the seat while driving under normal conditions then he should be losing it while braking or any other major air loss outside the cabin
    If the air system can replenish the much larger braking amount then it most certainly should keep up with the little old seat

    This was painful to read. Soapy water on all seat components, find your leak, fix your leak.

    The seat does not have a regulator or something to maintain a certain pressure. All it is a switch that adds or dumps air. You would have to be constantly trying to add air for the rest of the system to even care.

    If the valve is defective, can that be detected with soapy water?

    Do you notice that this contradicts what fishonron wrote in post #5?

    Fishonron is telling me that the leak that is causing the seat to sink is probably not in the seat. AModelCat is saying the leak is in the seat. Everyone is pretending like there is no contradiction here.
