You might try some Swagelok snoop. We have found some leaks with this that didn't show up with soapy water on some high pressure stuff.

Just wrap all your leaky fittings in Fat Mat.

my left front will hold up all day one day and the next day it'll leak down in 4 hrs. i'm thinkin' it's a valve.

My right front does that. I drove all the way too and from Drop Zone, then too and from Reso without any leaks. Now my front right leaks down within about an hour. But sometimes it holds air overnight...

Alright, thanks to 'jeridwds' for suggesting the balloon method. Unfortunately I was fresh out of balloons.
Dump valve popped a boner in no time:
So I took it apart and found some renegade teflon between the diaphragm and valve orifice that I deemed to be the culprit.
After that, I aired the front down and plugged the dump valve to see if the front would lift on its own (leaky fill valve). Since I figured if the fill and dump were leaking, it would explain my tank leak as well. (air seeping into bag then out through dump valve)
After about an hour it was still at zero so I ruled that out for now.
I also disconnected the compressors and plugged those holes, then filled everything to 100psi with the shop compressor. So if that holds overnight, then I know its the leader hoses leaking out.
