No...I doubt you have a crack. What you do have is a valve or two that are not installed correctly. If you look at your valves, the old ones are ok if you still have them, you'll see a rubber ring on both sides of the valves. These rings MUST remain in the grooves as you install the new valves. If not, you'll experience what you're seeing. What can you do now?:h
Remove the valves. If only one is leaking, just remove that one. Reposition the "O" rings into the grooves. I used a bit of vaseline to hold mine in place. Once they're back in the grooves, carefully reinstall the valve. Snug the screws back in place and give it a try. Sometimes it takes several tries to get it right.....Good Luck....Dennis
