air bag valve help please !!

my system was working fine til today, when i open the valve to let air into my front driver side, the air slowly leaks out. when i check the system it seems like dump valve isnt closing... and when i air it up it just comes out the dump valve.... any suggestion or do i need to get a new dump valve?

could be a stuck valve. take apart the valve and inspect it. maybe a bit of cleaning will work. it worked for me.
worst thing is a new valve.
