Air Bags: Leaks
I've got some leaks somewhere in my air lines. Each of the bags slowly leaks out air, taking 2-7 days to deflate, depending which bag it is. Do any of you have some good methods for figuring out exactly where it is leaking?

Bust out the soapy water and spray all fittings.

check the fittings, if they all check out, then it could be that the valves need to be cleaned out. I would pull the valve and clean it and re-lube it.

It's normally the fitting at the bag that leaks first.

Thanks for the tips.

I think part of the problem may be that all of the air lines have to curve right as they meet the fitting at the air bag. If that's the problem I might need new 90 degree fittings...

Another hint for you. With a leak that takes 2-7 days it is going to be hard to find because it is slow. What will help is if you overinflate the bags. Put in as much air as you can so that it is forced out of the leak faster making it easier to find.
