air leak left front

[Curt Sprenger]

Kerry,

Open up the front panel. Yours may be the same or similar to our '87 PT.
Behind that panel I found Clippard air/12V controls leaking air as well
as the manifolds they are screwed into. I changed out the Clippard
controls for new ones, tightened up the leaking manifold plugs and all
is good. Could be all that's needed is to cut off a quarter inch of the
leaking black small diameter tube(s) and re-insert them.

Do you have the air system schematic(s) for your Bird? Call Bennie at
Blue Bird and request them.
