Default Air Suspension (Leaks)

How many of you guys running air supsension have leaks?

Are you able to leave your car up overnight or a week straight w/o have to fill up ur bags or wait 5mins each morning for your compressors to fill up your tank?

This is a known, but unspoken problem with air. Did you have it installed?

I have air but no problems with leaks. I can easily leave it up overnight and come outside in the morning and drive right off.

Just wondering what that ratio is. Like how many people with air can leave their cars up overnight w/o having to fill their bags back up in the morning or having to wait in the morning for their compressor to fill up their air tank.

Leaks are a pretty easy fix. Just use the soap and water trick and it'll point you straight to where it is. BTW what system are you using? And what size is your compressors?

I leave my car the way it is for weeks at a time w/o adjusting the bags or having to refill my tank.

Had a few leaks, used Leak Lock to seal the fittings better.

U usually get more leaks in the winter time since it gets cold and warms up during the day.
