I spent a couple of weeks tracking down a leak(s). It ended up being a hairline crack in a 90' elbow on the discharge side of the pump -
here's a link to the problem(s) and what i did to fix them.

as far as the air in your lines goes, if you are no longer leaking water from anywhere, it's probably coming from the supply side of your water tank, remember - the big cap (filler cap) has to be a little bit loose, but the supply hose cap (the little one with the hose) has to be tight.
BTW - I enjoy your blog, your adventures are an inspiration to all of us!
