Ion 44 baseline

Hi! We are actually having some issues with my GC-MS. Some months ago started appearing an annoying ion during all the TIC, the m/z = 44. Some threads comment that could be some air leak. we have checked all the possible parts of the chromatograph and seems not to be that. Also, the autotunes are apparently correct and they do not show me any leak. 

On the other hand, ions 18 (water), 28 (nitrogen) and 32 (oxigen) are very high. I'll attach to this post some screenshots with a blank TIC. The peaks of the blank TIC are due to the m/z = 28 (nitrogen). We want to solve this problem because some peaks appear under the baseline and it is quite annoying.

 

Thank you for your attention!
