I have a tiny air leak on rear suspension of my Discovery TD5, X reg?

Question

In 4-5 hours the back end is completely down. I spent hours looking for it by spraying a solution I got from a mechanic all over the hoses and the remainder of the mechanism and couldn't find anything. I even took the pump off, and had a good look at air suspension cusions - both looked fine. Any ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

We use to clamp off hoses on other air ride suspensions I've worked on----clamp off the hoses right by the air bags with a pair of vise grips and check after several hours, if the ride height stays the same, keep clamping off the hoses further and further away and wait several hours in between to find the area of the leak....make sure to check all the fittings for looseness or poor seals. If the ride height lowers the first time you clamp the hoses off by the airbags, then the leak is in the air bags themselves. Spray a soapy water solution on the areas in question and look for bubbles.
