After cleaning and oiling my 98c pro platinum I discovered that it is has a small leak (makes a slight hissing sound) where the "gas line" fits into the bottom of the valve. I do not have an O Ring there, so my question is should there be one? If so what size O Ring is it?

Make sure the valve is centered, snug the hose up real good.

The seal is made by the flare pressing against the valve, it has to be snug.

I say snug because " tight" tends to make people do terrible things to fasteners. lol

That was it. I sunged it up some more and it stoped leaking. Thanks.
