Helpful Expert Reply:
The most common issue with air bags like the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4135 is the connection of the air line to the other components.
It is recommended to use a spray bottle with soap water to spray each fitting to see which is leaking. Once you have found it remove the air line and re cut it. Make sure to get a very straight even cut. An angled or crooked cut will cause leaking every time. Then place it back in and retest.
