If it seeps, then there is debris keeping the valve from fully closing. ANY type lube or oil will NOT fix that problem. People that state it is an EASY job to access and replace a CABLE driven valve WITH an underbelly have no clue as to what it really takes. The Cable driven valves function NOTHING like a standard pull rod valve. AND, they are mounted a lot different and are really a PITA to work on especially with an underbelly that has NO access covers. Very few OEM's install access covers for the tank valves. As to an "arrow" pointing which way?????? In 37 years whether it was Valterra or Bristol, I have NEVER seen an arrow and if you REALLY understand the design and how the flanges/seals are utilized, you would know that the valves have no front or back. 4 hours is not unrealistic depending on what is involved to access the system and correctly dropping the underbelly and reattaching the underbelly.
