Expert Reply:

Seems like you have the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2245. There are a couple things that could be causing the leak. Best case, is that the threaded NPT fittings are leaking. All you would need to do is take them out and apply more Loctite Thread Sealant # LT37482. If that doesn't solve your problem and/or you want to cover all your bases while you have it apart, I would recommend getting new lines and fittings # F2012.

If none of this solves your problem then it's time to replace your bags. The best way to go about this in my opinion is to buy a whole new system all together # F2245 because piecing the system together will most likely cost more in the long run.
