WG "bleeding"...

Quick question, wanna know what kinda of signs it'd take to determine whether or not my Sard Type C-II WG's gone "bad" without a thorough inspection(still on car atm). Driving normally through a 25mph zone, and not boosting I'll have a report from the WG before it seals again, but a second or two later it seems to continue to bleed with a small, more drawn out whistle... is this evidence of a leak?

It's only boosting 5.5 p.s.i. now, but we have yet to change the spring from the day it arrived, as it came overseas, and there were no specific specifications on the spring rate, etc. There are two spring rates as far as I know for the Sard Type C-II WG(looking through RHDJapan) one being 7 p.s.i.(.5bar), and the other being 11.4 p.s.i(.8bar). If I'm getting 5.5 p.s.i. leads me to think I've got the lesser spring, but would suggest that I'm leaking pretty badly...

Any input would be appreciated, and a delicious bounty of rep too. :D
Thanks.

... nothin'?

Rep pooooints. :kiss:

[EDIT] Forgot to mention that I had an HDi FMIC fitted, fuck's sake, don't know where my mind is nowadays. I know there's a decrease in pressure, but by 1.5 p.s.i.? Suppose there's a good chance it could be, eh? Would like to have answered my own question, but wanna know if anyone hears the same report from their WG after it's initial venting.

?Por favor?
