Untangle spaghetti?

We are experiencing air leak, on suction side, I think. The filter canister seems to bubble with incoming air when the pump is shut off, and has to be bled to get suction at vacuum port.
Also unable to separate skimmer and vacuum, which is a new development. Pool store suggested the 3way

All 3 valves have had diverters and o-rings replaced, as a first step elimination.

There is a small dripping leak on top of 3way valve

Thanks for your reply!

The small drip was corrected with simply reseating the Oring and snuggling the screws down.

This is part of my other question about air gurgling into the filter canister whenever the pump is shut off, requiring the canister to be bled of air before we have suction at the vacuum port and skimmer.

Thanks again
