Air bag problem

Can anyone tell me why one rear airbag didn't inflate ? I could hear air escaping but couldn't see where it was coming from . I will try to add a picture.

Hello and Welcome, take a spray bottle with water/soap mixture and spray everything down, you will see where the problem is quickly.....

You know there's a leak so get a mirror and spray the area with sudsy water and watch the bubbles appear.
All air hose connections are suspect.

If the bag doesn't inflate at all and you hear escaping air, you have a major rupture in the bag or supply line. Just feel all around both and you will find the problem easily.

If it is a diesel or gas with height sensors, You probably have a sense arm that has slipped and is letting the valve vent air out.
