use a bottle of soapy water and spray it around the fittings to find your leak.

I don't have leaks. I can leave it up and no problems.
Just wondering how common is for members or people with air ride to leave there car fully up at night just to come out in the morning not the same way. Or if they dump their car at night have to wait for there compressors to fill up the tank in the morning cuz there's no or not enough air in their tanks.

Well it depends... Are you running check valves? Leaks can come from alot of places such as valves, bags, tank, compressor, fittings, guages... Its always good to run check valves so it can pinpoint it easier. A good cause of leaks is fittings and lines. We had bad switches and guages before and also some compressors have blow back from the tank. I hope that helps with your question. Its not common also remember that tank pressure changes with weather and altitude.

Also know that air pressure changes per temperature so if it dropped a little in the morning, that could be because it's cooler outside.

:pat: yea and redid all his work and have had 2 sets of bags ... I had to replace fittings he had used and his solenoids ... everything ... double work and $$$
he was black booked in Ca automotive association and BBB and closed down after screwing me over :rules:
but its a very minor leak but i need to find it ... I am not to sure where its at but I hope not in the Valves .. those are pretty tricky for my car ..
I usually need to let compressors run when the tanks are dry and the lines are dry too after 3 days ... I need to get off the lazy ass and get'r done .. other wise overworking the compressors on start mode ...
