I have found that if I have a rash of leaks, that valve is on its' way out.
Alright, thanks for the link it helps a lot! I am not sure if it has been replaced recently, most likely not since it didn't seem, like the guy I bought it from was keeping it in good shape hence the leak. I am going to have a mechanic look at it today and diagnoise it and then see of it is a good DIY project for me or not. Thanks for the input!
