How do you fix a leaking schrader valve? I've cleaned out all the dirt from inside the valve and placed in a new core but the valve itself keeps on leaking air (quite audibly in fact). Interestingly the sound of air leaking stops when I twist either the core or the valve itself clockwise, but after a few hours the tyre deflates again. Is the tube itself leaking? I'm not exactly sure but the sound of leaking air is definitely coming from the area around the valve.
