92 U240 air dump valve

Came home from FL tonight and the U240 was leaking air from one of the two dump type valves by the front bumper. On mine, the hydraulic jack dump valves are right beside two screw on valves that if open dump air from the brake system. I can take a picture tomorrow in the daylight but does anyone know what I need as a replacement? I didn't find anything on the forum in a search.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, a common valve. Just take the old one off and to any truck parts house and some auto parts houses. Suggest you replace both.
