I' m getting a slow leak on my system i have the 4 way ride pro, i have checked for leaks as instructed in a earlier post could not find any leaks, should i have a check valve between tank and compressor? :eek:

Yes. Install one and see if that cures the problem.

Is it just one bag going down or all? How long does it take?

I have a psi gauge mounted on my tank at the outlet, it shows that i' m dropping about 10 psi in a 24 hour span, i have read in other posts that say its possible its bleeding back through the compressor does this happen? so i guess i will purchase a one way valve and see if this cures the problem, i assume the one way should be at the compressor outlet, the car is still up on jackstands so i have not driven it yet.

I have a similar problem. My tanks leak down. Should I also buy a check valve?

I think if the leak is on the pressurized line area (not the valve and bag side) a little leak wont hurt at all. Your compressor would just turn itself back on to restore the pressure.

The compressors have a check valve in them, there is no need for an external check valve. You probably have a fitting leaking. Just spray them all with soapy water.
