I found the leak that kept my air compressor running and my rear sagging..
For a temporary and quick-fix to get it squared-away, this is what I did;
I used a couple of pieces of heat-shrink tubing that have the glue inside and a short section of refrigerator freezer water line meant for the ice maker feed.
I measured the backspacing of the internal O-ring stop with a depth gauge and removed it as it had partially collapsed.
I used new universal O-rings, adding two additional along with 1/8" rivet backing plates to make-up for the now missing O-ring stop.
The idea is: there is no real lateral pressure put on the tubing once installed and the ice maker tubing is in place to ensure strength of the heat-shrink tubing splice radially. The outer heat-shrink tubing is to 1) secure from any movement and 2) keep debris out of the plastic locking sleeve connector.
It works and, again, is a temporary fix.
I've pictures but cannot post them until someone here allows me more than the allotted 2Mb of space to do so.
