Thanks. That was how I initially found the leak. Definitely in the small seals on the cylinder shaft.

I also now now use a water trap on my compressor, since when I have had zero problems and the system holds pressure indefinitely.
Might help you.

Do you know where you found the small seals for the shaft. I replaced the air cylinder seals, but haven't found a source for the small seals on the shaft. I also don't know the correct procedure to remove the shaft, and don't want to make it worse or break something just trying things. Any help in disassembly of the shaft and source for the small seals would be so much help and save me buying new gear as a solution.
