I was having a problem with a corner leaking down on my eclipse & it was leaking from the fitten comming off my valve. Make sure that you check every fitten-on the cylinder & valve as well. Do you know by any chance what type cylinders they are?? If they have a lower port hole, it may be bypassing out of that too.

ok i completely raised my ride & my guages are tellin me that all tires are at 62, except for the one that i am havin probs with, it deflated in a matter of 30 seconds, but i will lift it all night just to make sure there isnt any other leaks anywhere else....

first of all im not trying to be a dick but your not inflating your tires,your putting air in a cylinder,strut,or possibly an actual air bag,but i seriously doubt that its on bags. anyway,fix the leak at the cylinder u know is leaking first then do the overnight leak deal. and yes put it on jack stands when checking the connections not just a floor jack.

No d**k taken, but ya its on air bags fer sure, when i said tires i figured we were all on the same page not meaning tires...lol! But i appreciate every response. I figured that if i got that car on car jacks that it would just jump off when i hit the air...it jumps up really fast! But i will be doing it this weekend so wish me luck.

I will definately be posting pics of the whole car & creating a profile hopefully this weekend. I will definately take pics of the air set-up. It is by Universal air suspensions & it was done at the hack shack in dallas TX. It has front, back, side to side & it pancakes. @ 100% continuous compressores & 3 air tanks...its a nice set-up.

this is another way to tell if u have a leak:

set your comps up on a pressure switch without a kill/cutoff switch and when your compressors turn on at 2am youll know u have a leak somewhere!

i know this cuz mine did this the other night.u wont know where the leak is but youll know u have one. haha just thought was kinda funny!

Well this may sound krazy but I havent had any problems with it losing air for the past week, startin to think that maybe it was the heat????
