Re: Exhaust in Solenoids

To maybe fix the leak, try checking the ends of the air tubes, and see if they're cut straight. If they've been cut at an angle, they can leak. Cutting them straight should fix it. Note that this may not be the issue, but it's a simple thing to check before you disassemble the whole pneumatics system. Just make sure to vent any air in the tank before working on anything!

Re: Exhaust in Solenoids

A single solenoid should be enough to control both the A and B ports. The important thing is that it is a 4/5 port solenoid.

If there is air leaking out of the exhaust port it is usually either an internal leak in the seal of the air cylinder or a leak in the gasket between the solenoid and the manifold block (if you are using a manifold setup).
