Just curious, on my Easter trip the Mits Air Locker seamed to leak in the morning, then after an hour or so or quite a few cyclings of the switch it would stop leaking, ie compressor quit going on and off. I was using the locker constantly for hours each day. Anyone else experienced that? Will it be ok or is a seal in the diff giving out? I know ARB's do it in EXTREME cold, but its not that cold...Performed perfectly, just the leaking.

Mine does it too. It's the actuator, probably. Check the air lines, though.

Sounds normal to me. All those things in there getting warm, and lubed up.

The light works well, seems to lock fine. Compressor just cuts on and off. Sounds like its ok to live with for now.
