+1 ON Alien's post. This is where mine were leaking. No problems since on my 05.

Good idea, mine loses from 35 down to 20 in about a month. I am getting ready for a 5000 miler and will reset the compression joints and replace the schrader before leaving. My 03 RKC only had to have a few pounds twice a year.
