Will your tire leak air if your valve covers are off?
Yes if the valve is leaking. But in general the answer is no.
Where are one way valve used?
One way valves are used on any tires. It lets you air up the tire and the valve keeps it from leaking air back out. If you want to check if your vale is leaking, just pour a little water on to the valve. You will see bubbles comming form the valve if it is leaking. If no bubbles, there is no leak.
What is a manifold leak?
A manifold leak is usually in reference to a failure of the intake manifold gasket. It can leak air, oil or coolant. It can leak to the outside of the engine or internally into the engine. A manifold leak may also refer to the Exhaust manifold that is leaking exhaust fumes from a bad gasket or a crack in the manifold.

What is the cause of air conditioning blower switching to defrost instead of dash when accelerating up hill on a 1998 dodge b1500 van Already tested for vacuum leak none found?
Low vacuum, an external leak, or a leaking vaccum check valve are the only causes.Low vacuum, an external leak, or a leaking vaccum check valve are the only causes.
If you remove the cap on the high pressure valve of an auto air condioner should it be leaking freon out the valve?
No, it should not leak freon because it is supposed to be a sealed unit.
What would cause my 88xy to idle up and leak oil out of head gasket and valve cover gasket?
Hmm... it could be several factors. Is the Check engine light on? If so, see if it points to your fast idle control valve or air intake valve. Either one may be the cause of the high idle, especially if the idle is rough. The leak in the valve cover gasket could be as simple as replacing the cover gasket, unfortunately, it is difficult to assess the machine over the internet.
How do you check leaking or broken valves?
If the valve is broken(most like engine damage is present), if is slightly bent, stuck lifter or a broken valve spring. You can perform a leak down test. With the cylinder at Top Dead Center (compression/power stroke), with the spark plug removed install the leak down tester. The tester has 2 gauges, one shows the psi of the air your putting into the cylinder and the other is the leak down %. If the pressures are out of the acceptable range(gauge has a scale), you need the check where the air is leaking. If you can hear the air in the intake( intake valve leaking). If it can be heard in the exhaust(exhaust valve). If you can hear it from the valve cover oil filler/dip stick/ breath hole(worn/ cracked rings). Lastly if you get bubbles in the radiator/coolant jug, (you have a blown head gasket/cracked head). I've had multiple ford explorer 4.0 sohc motors with broken valve springs, took the valve cover off and pulled up on the retainer and the air sealed the valve shut. Was able to change the spring without removing/retiming the cam. Good Luck
Why would a 1994 Ford Escort stall after 40 seconds at idle?
Some of the reasons your Escort would stall after 40 seconds at idle are: 1. Vacuum leak. 2. Plugged fuel filter. 3. Leaking EGR. 4. Plugged PCV valve 5. Air filter clogged. 6. Fuel pump below capacity. 7. Leaking head gasket. 8. Camshaft lobes worn 9. Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.
How do you stop air leaking out of the valve?
close it with a valve wrench, change the o-ring
What the cause of a poping noise coming from the muffler?
overfueling, ignition/valve timing out, or hopefully just air leaking through knackered exhaust gasket into pipe, all causing secondary combustion.
What causes a tire to just go flat you put air back in and it doesnt go flat again?
Sounds like someone let the air out. Another possibility is that it is leaking at the valve stem. It may only leak when you are moving. The centrifugal force causes the valve stem to bend sideways and leak. It could also be you parked it with the leak on the bottom and the weight of the car sealed it. I would remove the tire and check it throughly with soapy water for a leak.
