Default Road Zeppelin Seat repair

After about 110,000 trusty miles my Road Zeppelin seat has developed a leak in the front zone. I seem to recall someone on here that figured out how to repair the valve, which I suspect is the issue here. Tried a search but could not find it. If anybody can lead me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Great info guys.
I have a zeppelin just sitting in my garage. Bladders and compressor work fine.
Padding is worn out and the cover has a few splits.
MCC won't touch it, too bad, I'd love to have them work magic on it.
I've received quotes out of this world to recover/refoam it, more than half the cost of new.
So it collects dust. I'll contact Milsco, appreciate the info as well.

If you can't get it covered under warranty and are feeling handy, remove the staples to take the seat apart and apparently swimming pool patches work to repair the bladders. Then just staple it back together.
