I have had that a bunch of years ago. I changed to male ends that are
brass,
and the female quick coupler only with stainless steel balls and
springs. I usually
procured from NEMCO.
This prevents spurious leakage at the seal between the two, which would
invalidate any accuracy in readings.
Problem eliminated. WD40 could affect the rubber seat material.
As an aside, you may wish to make the investment in Ray Pressure
Snubbers, to
derive stability, and achieve greater accuracy.

Dewayne,
Hopefully it is not one of ours or NEMCO (our supplier), we supply
only Parker fittings, brass body and full stainless internals and pay
considerably extra over imported ones.
Please contact me off line

Anyone else have a problem with these new pitot flow test kits with
the air “quick” couplings for the gauge rusting up and giving
inaccurate readings?
If so what have you done about it? I am thinking we should remove
the gauge from the coupling after every use and blast it with WD-40
or the equivalent.
Thanks,
Dewayne
