Seconded. Not sure, but there may be an O-ring or seal that could be replaced.

FWIW, my BJ8 was built in Nov. '66 has 205K miles, and the valve still works 
(but it's been a bit more recalcitrant lately). I had it out years ago when a 
hose started leaking and, IIRC, I shot some oil on it and put it back in.
