PerkinElmer TOGA air leak ?

Hi All
We use PerkinElmer Clarus 680 with a Turbomatrix 40 for the analysis of transformer gases. Recently we have seen oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide peaks in argon purged vials. (O2 and N2 the ECD and CO2 on FID). The volume of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide can be anything up to 10ml with no pattern. The system has been checked over by our independent service engineer and a PerkinElmer engineer who all found nothing wrong. Carrier gases have been changed, leak tested etc. but to no avail.
Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it ?
