Default Malfunctions - compressed air leaks

After just performing my 2nd deep dive (held at 160m) test in my IIA as I am approaching my patrol in AN26 I blew twice on the compressed air,the first blow reduced the air to about 3/4 approx,yet the 2nd blow reduced ALL the air.I immediately noted this down and concluded there must be a serious malfunction with the valves somewhere,either a slow leak or complete valve failure (obviously the latter).

Now what I am asking is this , "is that rate of drain normal for such a malfunction"? I am not complaining mind you,after all makes the game more realistic , and is there a chance it can be repaired at some point in the patrol?,does the game model that?.

Well,looks like we will be relying solely on the planes on this patrol to surface ,unless in absolutely critical situations.

Also,would somone be kind enough to give me a short list of other malfunctions to watch out for?,other than gear problems,fuel leaks,rudder problems,dive plane problems etc.

Thanks!
