Question leaking.. need help!!

*i did search prior to this post..* i have an 02 f150 that is bagged, i didnt do any of the work myself i bought from the guy an hour north of me. now my problem is leaking, when the compresor (belt driven) is running my bags will fill up with out me hitting the switches, when i drive they leak down, and when i lower it to the ground the bags refill automatically (compressor is off) again with out me doing it. i also hear it leak. why does it do that? could it be the connection between the bag and the hoses running to the bag? im new at air suspensions so any info would help me allllot!

So what turns the compressor on?

Is the compressor always running?

Where is it leaking from?

Re: leaking.. need help!!

It is not leaking but it is more likely the valves have been installed the wrong way around causing the air to back-flow through the valves or they are crappy valves. Check and make sure the valves are facing the correct way (arrow pointing to direction of flow). You can install check valves before the fill valve to prevent back flow if the valves are installed correctly
