Chasing Wing Leaks

[onepointfivethumbs]

I recently bought a used Dive Rite Trek Wing (wanted a little more buoyancy for diving with a lot of lead in cold freshwater)

When I orally inflated it fully, there was pretty significant leaking coming from the dump valve.

OK, take it apart, flip the rubber gaskets over, smear some silicone grease on it. Reinflate, now there's hissing up at the remote exhaust.

Clean it off, make sure everything's seated correctly, lube it up, screw it back in.

Now there's a tiny, almost imperceptible leak that gets worse when I lift up the power inflator.

I'm nearly certain there are no pinholes in the bladder, I cleaned, greased and reassembled both the power inflator and dump valve, the screws aren't cross-threaded and they're as tight as I can get with my hands.

What's the deal?

Could be a crack, or the gasket is shot.

I'd get it underwater and see exactly where it's coming from.

nevermind I'm stupid

I didn't seat the power inflator octagon correctly, so while the screws was cinched down there was still a gap
