My J.R. Slaten Power Level II air valves are leaking at the stem, or at least one of them is. I can actually feel air coming out of it, even though it is a slow leak. Before I investigate the leak, I just thought I'd ask if there is a nut at the stem, with some sort of packing in it, that can be tightened?

The rest of the air system is pretty tight, but I probably have a few other small leaks that should be easy to track down and fix. If I isolate the air bags, the coach will stay up indefinitely, but if I leave the shut offs open, it will sag in a few days. I'm pretty sure, at this point, the air is mostly leaking out of the valves.

Thanks,
