BOV leaking

So i decided to do a boost leak this morning one last time before i leave for AMS Permorance to have my car run on a dyno, (they are 9 hours away). So i thought hey lets just check to make sure i have no boost leaks. so i hook up my boost leak tester, and try to pressurize my system but it wont pressurize. the BOV is leaking air. It leaks out the hole that connects to the CAI. It wont even hold 5psi. it just kisks it right out. Now i have the FORGE RS BOV. i just bought it last summer when i had my car tuned by Al. And i havent done a leak test since then... all i have for a BOV is either the Forge RS or my stock BOV. I was going to open it up and re-grease the piston but I dont know how to get the Forge RS open.

HELP. Im leaving for AMS in 10 hours

just an update. first i did do a search and all i find is people asking if they have a BOV leak and no one really gives a straight answer. I was looking for a way to open or fix the Forge BOV. But i took it off my car brought it inside and let it warm up to 75 degrees on a vent in my house, because it got to 2 degrees outside last night. I then went back outside and it worked fine, it must have been too cold.

I would call forge, just to be sure.

Why is MOST peoples 1st answer to a question on here, "Do a Search". Yeah sometimes people post dumb stuff but this was a pretty logical question. Good luck on the fix and the dyno man!

I'd say Google is better for assembly and manuals :P

Manufacturer websites FTW

EDIT:

BTW if you can't read the PDF you can apparently unscrew the the bottom off and get at the spring and piston.
