Hey all,

Today when vacumming with my Riccar Vibrance, I noticed something of what could be a possible air leak.

It happens at the point where the hose cuff meets the hose handle which connects into the aluminum wand. You can definitely hear and feel air in this area (as the vacuum is on and hose is resting on the handle/hook in carpet mode)

I took a look at the hose and everything is perfectly fine, no holes or tears, practically still like brand new. I also noticed that when you slightly push the hose towards the handle, the air leak stops. Does anybody know if this is normal? I'm definitely worried.
