    Does anyone have a fix for leaking tpms seals without having a shop break the bead and replace the seals?

    In the last 6 months I've had 3 start leaking around the valve stem. They are metal stems on fuel wheels. I've snuggled the nuts up a touch to see if that would help but they still leak slowly.

    Would Teflon tape help?

    Try removing the outer nut and work some O ring lube around the sealing area.

    I had this issue on one of my previous cars, ended up cracked valve stem. Better to check the issue and maybe replace them and be done with it in my opinion

    Okay, tried tightening them twice. no luck. Whats more reliable against leaking...rubber or TPMS? During a Zombie Apocalypse i dont want any f'n leaks.
