The air leak on the driver side bedroom seal was at the bottom of the slide where the seal is folded over and clamped down. After looking at it with a bore scope and using an acoustic detector to pinpoint the leak I decided to try an experiment. When I get a flat tire on my off road vehicles I use rubber cement and rope plugs to repair them. I bummed a syringe from my inhouse nurse, filled it with rubber cement and injected it into the seal where the leak was. I let it set all night and turned the air on this morning to pressurize the seal. Using the acoustic detector I cannot hear anything, it appears the leak may be fixed. I'll leave it cure for a few days before I vacuum the slide & check the operation.
