My driver's side has always leaked down within a couple of days.
I put a shut-off valve kit on and with the valve Off it takes about 4 days instead of 2, so I have a leak in the controls (ElectroLevel 1) and in the air bag.
Today I sprayed some soapy water on the connections and the bag. Well the bag is leaking at the roll to the cone. The leaks are pinhole size but there are a few of them. I can't see the date code but it does have some cracks there.
There was a spare airbag with the coach. I put some air in and it leaks worse with much less pressure so its not worth installing. The date code on it is DD which I figure is April '78
Is this a precursor to an immanent failure? Or?
Funds are kinda low right now!
