You have a Fleck 5600 control valve. Go to
www.fleckcontrols.com and download the 5600 Econominder or time clock
version service manual. Match the face of your control to the
pictures.
The leak is probably the piston stem o-ring in the end cap or the
Teflon coating is worn on the piston stem. I or other dealers sell the
parts.
