Very strange, wonder is it actually leaking from the schrader needle valve itself or the valve body where it exits the EV, doesn't explain the reason but use a drop of soapy water to establish where (if) exactly its leaking from, if its the needle valve itself the you should surely be able to source a air tight cap for it.

Also why do you need to replace the EV, you can simply get it pumped up again?, also suggest getting a combined isol/drain service valve installed in the EV outlet pipe, there are purpose manufactured valves for this,
