water ballast valve LS6c/LS7

Mineral deposits in the valve seal may be causing the leak, you might try soaking the valve in Lime-a-Way or SLR, then flush out under pressure. Try to figure out a way to lube the seat when valve is inside the wing. JJ Yup. I would do everything possible to make sure the ball is able to seat correctly including cleaning as suggested, lubricating the O-Ring with glycerin first followed by wax to help it seat. I helped on two LS6 valve-jobs, and they were solved by the above. The mechanism itself is fairly simple, so the likely culprit is seating of the ball valve. Erik Mann (P3)
