As I recall the "sea stories" from my younger days, boiler technicians on
Navy ships hunted for steam leaks on 600 psi systems with broom sticks.
When the end of the broomstick lopped off, you knew you were in the right
area!

Thanks all for all the replies. I chased the leak to the check valve on the firewall. Its a good thing, cause the other check valve was about to go as well (springs rusted).
Checked my stainless water filter, and I've order new deccessant.<sp>.. As soon as this stuff arrives I'll adjust the relief valve.
Walt, I"ve looked in my parts manual to try to figure out where the other "water filters" are. I cannot see them, the drawing is way to small.
Is there a better cj pneumatic system schematic available online somewhere.

Mike;
There is only one "water filter".
There are two deposit filters (snot valves). The main system valve on the
firewall should be drained after every engine operation. The brake system
valve in the lower centre section should be drained perhaps once per week or
as found necessary by experience.
The air system schematic is on page 104 of the Technical Specifications
Manual. It is small and the numbers are very hard to read but as far as I
know that is the only one. It is however quite accurate and if you are
attempting to fix these problems yourself you need to spend the time
necessary to identify all the components and fully understand the system.
I suspect you have more problems than one leaking check valve. You may be
well advised to discuss this with your AME and seek his help. You will need
facilities to calibrate the pressure gauges, an external source of medium
pressure air, jacks to raise the aircraft and many other items. There may
be leakage in the gear UP circuit. Or in the charging circuit from the
compressor to relief valve which cannot be tested without an external
supply.
As mentioned by others you most certainly need an understanding of the
dangers of working with high pressure air.
Cheers;
Walt
