Front Airbags Leaking Down

We have a 2004 Dutch Star on a Spartan Chassis. The front airbags will drop within a few minutes of shutdown. I knew I had a small leak some where, but have not been able to locate it. Recently the front bags have been leaking down more soon after shutdown. Any ideas on where to start looking? Could not find anything under the front of the coach.

Thanks

The most active mechanical part is the ride height valve(s). I've already replaced one. With the coach aired up and the engine running, can you hear the valve(s) leaking. If not, stop the engine and see if you hear a leak. With the bags dropping that fast, one should be able to find the leak pretty fast.

The best solution is to really get under the rig with soapy water in a spray bottle. Make sure you have the max psi in the system (this will make finding any leak that much easier), and just start spraying all of the connections, components, and lines. You should come across the source of your leak.
