I checked the one that is just by the left rear air strut, yes I sprayed soapy water and saw no leaks

First let me say, I do all of my own work, with the exception of oil changes. That includes control arms, EAS related components and even some trim parts..

There's nothing worse (Other than complete engine failure of course) than having an EAS failure. If you're running Johnson Rods or have already invested in the IIDTool from GAP? This isn't for you. If you're running larger than stock tire size with EAS and you're actually traveling to remote off highway locations? You should look into IIDTool.

For my mostly road use LR with 265/70/18's LTX MS/2's, I went with Old Man EMU's 2" conversion kit. Comfortable & stable ride!

Thanks KMET, my LR3 is has standard OEM 19" tyres, I don't use johnson rods but I've been thinking about it. I do not have the IIDTool, I do travel off road on remote trails. However, I've decided to change the EAS compressor for the new AMK instead of the coil conversion.

If you're in the Los Angeles area, I have a new Hitachi (AMK will require Dealership reprogram) I'll sell cheap. Also have a new front air block. I'll even help with install @ my house...

You should get an IIDTool.
