    Hi guys
    There seems to be an airleak as we can hear the sound on the pneumatic valve. Took me awhile and my phone wet with oil just to see the model because we're afraid to open it, might cause more leak. We're hearing it on this area. I already found the part on ebay but wanted to check maybe theres an alternative solution

    Use a pliers to pinch off one of the 6mm air line at the valve. If air stops leaking, your problem may well be at the piston it controls, not at the valve. Depending on whether it's for the ductor, impression or dampening, a seal may be bad in one of those pistons.
