OK, so I'm patenting my solution for these air lines (however, I'm not 
sure I'm the first person to do it.)

Instead of taking apart all the lines, I decided to go, 'limited tactical 
nuke' on them.

At each connection with a leak, the pipe was cut off, and a union with a 
short nipple was installed.  While this increased the number of joints 
(not what I wanted to do) it affords me the opportunity to remove the bad 
joints and replace thread sealer, tighten pipes, over and over again until 
it is fixed. 

So now, I'm down to a system with only tiniest of leaks (that I can't even 
hear.)  Which leaves me toying with the idea to buy a ultrasonic leak 
detector to find and fix them.  (read>excuse to buy a new tool!)

I found one for about $100 locally here in NJ.

My question is now, is there anyone in the NJ area that would have need 
for one of these?  If so, I may buy it and then I'll help you find your 
leaks as well for free.  8>)
