You diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but are you sure it's not leaking around the valve body ?
Other thing is try some fine emergy on the valve face itself whilst spinning it in the lathe..
Leaking exhaust valve!
I think it’s the white seal knackered; it leaks air through the breech.
Tried turning a new one out of Delrin, still leaks
Chambers list a used replacement,(the whole valve assembly) which could leak the same as mine.
Any ideas please?
I have tried unsuccessfully to add a pic🤷🏻♂️

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. But not lathes. I have too many lathes. Thanks, JB.
I would polish the valve mating surfaces with metal polish. I like to go by hand rotating the valve both ways.
