Forest,
I thought that I would also let you know that one of the valves on my Air Ride System was venting, discharging through a port (could have appeared to be leaking). The Ride Height Valve was the culprit in the case of our '82. It was the Linkage arm that had come loose.
Remember to Block the Coach before crawling under it and you can use a ghetto creeper (cardboard)...thanks to Richard for that moniker, I carry some cardboard aboard our Prairie Schooner around just for this purpose. Just to underscore Blocking I was under the Coach and was very happy to have Blocked it when I found the Linkage issue. I wiggled the Linkage and the Valve began to Vent the System, thankfully I had been warned and took the proper precautions!!!!!!!!!!!
I use some Leveling blocks that I stand on edge to Block our Coach, so I always have them aboard.
