The o-rings on the bleeder valve can be changed but that shouldn't be necessary on a new or recent tank. How to test it? No idea.


If you think the tank or bleeder are leaking, use a system pressure tester to pressurize the system and then coat the bleeder area with a soapy water mix; if it is leaking, you will get a ton of bubbles.
