Re: Need Advice-AirFit F10 Leaks!

I'm loving this mask - my face is hard to fit, and this one is practically leak-free around the mask. However, I seem to be getting a lot of very noisy leaking around where the elbow fits into the mask (the "porthole" area). I'm guessing the little silicone gasket or whatever has gotten stretched.
