well, you can replace those rubber tubes, so long as like the previous guy said it doesnt have stripped threads, just maybe dryrotted. easiest way to locate the exact problem is fill with air and submerge, and rotate it in water to see where bubbles are coming from.

if it IS coming from that tube, id take it to a LDS to ahve THEM fix it, unless its simply a matter of replacing that tube.

maybe its also time to get a nicer used and newer model bcd? i know "if it aint broken dont fix it" even tho this kinda is, but, when i was working in my dive shop i was unsure why people would still rely, and deal with, the lack of comfort and old gear theyd bring in for service :P
