over night or over a period of a few hours, my front right bag leaks into my front left bag, i have the front plumbed off of one line from my tank to a tee then each side of the tee to the valves for either side, one reason for this could be that i live in FL. and it is usaully hotter than the devils wife down here and just recently it started to cool way down, like over night and way less humidity, but wouldnt that make all my valves/lines leak and its not like it droped from like 90 to 30 degrees

if the sides are plumbed seperate that is one hell of a chance that one side leaks into another. just pull the valves and give them a cleaning. i live in fl also and i doubt the weather change has anything to do with it, unless you have very cheap ass valves.

my 2 fronts are plumbed together though, meanin that there is one supply line from the tank to them via a tee, so does that mean that the valve on my right/front side (the one that is leaking out of the bag), is back feeding into the tee and then the valve on my left/front uses that air and leaks into the bag? so my front valves just need cleaned? they are parkers by the way

If they are plumbed together the whole front will go down if one side is leaking.

yea it seems like the whole front does go down, but the gauge for my front bags says that it is goin to the left side cuz i will left the fronts with like 80psi in them, come back and the right will say like 60 or 40 and the left will say like 100. i was also just thinkin of goin to a FB setup instead of a FBSS by junkin my 4 parkers up front and using 2 of the 4 SMC's i got out back and put them up front, what do you all think?

ok i think your problem is only on the passenger side dump valve because that side gos down the drivers side has more weight on it causeing the psi of the air in the front drivers bag to go up, not because more air went in but because there is more weight on that one bag.

so your only real problem is that your passenger side leaks down and it most likly isnt leaking back into your tank that has more pressure then the bag does, thats why i think its leaking from your bag fitting or dumb valve.

hope that helped
