    Found it..... I pinched them off 1 at a time and still leaking. So I started randomly pinching lines and it stopped when I pinched a line under the catwalk above the front axle!!!!! @AModelCat thank you.

    What is that line connected to? I wouldn't try and drive with it pinched off. Could be something important.

    Pinch the emergency lines right at the brake chamber. You have a bad brake chamber.

    And when one goes, it's best to change them all.

    I would only change the brake chamber that is leaking. At most both on the same axle.

    To each his own. I do the same with air bags... when one needs replaced, they all get replaced. I probably spend more money in the long run, but I hate being broke down on the side of the road.

    I usually do that...Last weekend I needed to change 1 air bag and of course changed all four of them. I had to change a brake chamber on the road last September and when I got home bought 3 new ones to change....never did change them lol.
    Things like shocks brakes/slack adjusters/ I always plan to change them...
     
    lilillill Thanks this.
