Well, from what you said, if your TT has moods and sometime it works and sometime does not (the platter does not lift up high enough) then the problem is most certainly is not a leak but dirt and a lack of lubrication. You can test the lack of lubrication also by seen test. As the TT is spinning at the cruse speed at 33 rpm and you get rid the belt the planner should continue to spin for at least 4-5 mins. if it sop faster than you have too much friction in your bearing. Do not worry about your pumps. This TT should have incredibly small am out of air flow to make a platter rise. Do not even think that it should have CPAP level blowers. When I try to make my tube that feeds the air suspension to blow on my hand I hardly feel any air flow, so I need to blow in my tang to feel some flow. It is VERY contra-initiative as you feel that such a small air flow and no air pressure of any significant kind would be not enough to raise such a heavy planter. It does to all my surprise.
