I have been plagued for quite some time by a slow leak at the exhaust valve on the shoulder. I have switched valves with suits that are not leaking with no change, so it is not the valve itself. I don't see any difference between the way the valves seat between non-leaking suits and mine. The last time I dived, I put some silicone between on the connection parts, and I had my first fully dry dive in a long time. I assume that I have thus identified the problem.

Any idea of the best solution?
