It's a sure-enough sign to get in there and find out what's leaking. It's probably the core, but it could be the valve or the hose connections. Van-again and Bus Depot have the cores for around $70 -- there's a seal you have to replace too, make sure they include it (they may call it an o-ring). For the summer you can just plug the hoses, give you time to deal with the rest. david
