Is this a Mouth leak?

Is this a Mouth leak?
Hey All:

This showed up today as a leak.  I didn't do anything I know of to fix it.

   
Thank you,

That's the leak pattern I've associated with mouth leaks. Elongated, rounded pattern.

Thanks Dave.

So I assume I some how closed my mouth spontaneously. Maybe rolled over, some how adjusted the mask or my mouth.

I hope you are well.

I'm alive still thanks.

Yep I'd say the leak occurred then was corrected.

One thing that I will say -- comparing my leak-free F30 with my leak-fest P30i -- I don't think that I believe either the flow rate data or the flow limit data when the mask is leaking.
