Coilover nitrogen leak

[drich394]

Ok, I'm a bit of a dumbass when it comes to coilovers, I have one that has just had new seals put in for a massive oil leak, now a new one, not oil thought, nitrogen....I fill to 300psi and I can hear a small leak, put some soapy water on and found it at the bottom of the valve assembly, tightened to inner valve, and replaced it , then I finally removed the valve assembly and put some teflion tape on, reincerted and still leaks, now question is should there be an O ring on the back side of the valve assembly??, cause there is not one..... Sorry for being a moron..

FROM THE EMPTY BOTTLE!

Unless they are tapered pipe thread then yes it would need an o-ring. Most I have seen are o-ring boss for the resi or top cap scrader valve.
