Slow Leak in air suspension???

Does air suspension slowly bleed off over time causing truck to lower??? I maxed out my bags leaving it in the garage, for about a month without adjusting the air pressure. Now the front of the truck is on the ground? This is all ridetech components with airpod, bags are new and I dont here air leaking and the system is saying anything about a leak?? Please help

Leak. Check fittings at bags and manifold. A spray bottle with water dish soap mixture will help sprayed on fittings under pressure. Look for bubbles. End of the day it's probably small just be cognizant of curbs and objects under body when parking.

Check the front only as the manifolds seem to be sealed in the back.

I always air mine up when its in the garage. If there is a leak I want to know about it "before" I take it out. Usually the soapy water trick works well, but I have one that takes several weeks to leak down, so its hard to find.
