No, this is not a question with many aspects - it's about a Sherwood DIN
isolation manifold for doubles. Since this manifold is nearly ubiquitous in 
technical circles, I figure it's OK to post this to techdiver.

A few months ago I bought my second set of Sherwood Genesis 100's, and installed
the manifold myself.  I had no apparent leaks, and since I have had two years of
trouble-free service from my first set, didn't worry about their reliability.
Yesterday, my buddy noticed a small leak where the crossover piece joins one 
of the tank valves.  Some fiddling with a wrench in the tub seams to have 
fixed the leak, but now I am worried about more serious leaks.

So my questions are, are small leaks common in Sherwood manifolds?  Does 
anyone have experience with a small leak turning into a catastrophic leak?
My biggest worry is that a little o-ring on one of the nipples or something
will decide to become disloged and dump my air faster than a freeflowing Odin.
On the other hand, I am reluctant to have somebody at a shop take the whole
thing apart and possibly screw it up worse than when I started.
