Hello Phil,
Make sure you determine if it is leaking vs venting.
You (like me) could have bad actuator seals that are letting the
gear-down air flow past the seals into the gear-up side of the circuit.
It creates a frequent hissing from the rear gear selector that goes away
if you (WHILE ON JACKS) move the rear selector to neutral then back to
down, but then builds back up.
Mine had a gear collapse while we were investigating this issue.
Of course, the controls can leak also, but I think a lot of the time it
is really the cylinder seals.
Jeff

Jeff,
We could hear the rear gear valve leaking with an ultrasonic detector. I will
check actuators to be certain.
Thanks
Phil
