Are you sure that you soaped all the connections? When I bought my car it
leaked down very quickly. The main issue was at the schrader valve at the
air tank. I don't know how my system ever worked because where the air line
attached at the schrader, there was nothing, absolutely nothing to snug the
line down to the ferrel (sp). I got a very small hose clamp and that solved
it. The air also, could be backing out of the compressor depending on
whether you have a foot (check) valve. Kim
