Tried to boost leak test my car yesterday and noticed a huge boost leak coming from my 1g bov, as soon as, it sees positive pressure.

Haven't found much information on this issue, surprisingly, except for this video:

That seems to be the same thing my 1G BOV is doing, that used to hold well over 30psi during a test.

Just thought i would post this out there, just something to keep an eye out for. I guess, these valves are getting older and older, would't be surprised if this issue will start coming up more often.

If anyone figured out an easy fix for this, post it up!
