Inflateable Lumbar leaks

Hi,

I have done a search, but nothing came up.

My drivers seat's lumbar support is leaking somewhere...
I'd pump it up, but it would deflate in about a minute
How can I check what is wrong? Is there a one-way valve somewhere that is supposed to hold the air in the lumbar, or are the inflateable "ballons" leaky?

Thanks in advance!

Different vehicle, but my wifes 98 explorer was leaking and it was the tube that inflated the lumbar had a hole in it between the pump and the support. Replaced the tube, no problem anymore.

I've got the exact same problem HungryT/A. I'm going to try and fix it this weekend or next. I'll post the fix if I can figure it out; if you don't beat me too it.
