Could be bad or just not seated all the way. Unscrew the valve, clean off the tip & install. When you let the air out, you will get some oil residue with it, its normal.

Mix up a little dish soap and water, spray over the tubing and valve and if they are leaking you will see air bubbles foaming at the leak.
