    So this valve, I assume the ABS valve, is leaking air out the exhaust hole (I'm pointing at) it only does it when the red trailer brake knob is pushed in.

    I have clamped all the brake pod air lines truck and trailer and made no difference. Would you replace this valve?

    Not enough information to reply properly. I have replaced my ABS valve on tractor that was leaking out of the exhaust port.

    First disconnect the trailer and check if that valve stops leaking.
    Where is that valve located. Tractor or trailer?

    Pull the service line off the trailer and push in the red knob. I bet you will find air leaking out of the service gladhand. The hole your pointing at looks like a check valve, the exhaust for that valve is on the bottom. That looks like the tractor protection valve to me, not an ABS valve, there is not electrical wires going to it.

    Actually there is a black wire on the very bottom that made me think ABS, however you are right it is actually 2 separate valves there looks like. The one leaking has no wire going to it. Thanks all of you for the ideas!!!
