Default Air Leak - Sagging Rear End - 01 Discovery II

When I get out of the car, the LR looks just fine.
After about 15-20 minutes, it is looking like a low rider.

Both sides seem to be sagging about the same.

Since it is looking OK while driving (and motor running) the compressor must be working. Since the impact of the leak is on both sides, can folks recommend where to start with checking for leaks?

Is this 'normal' for an 01 Disco and I should worry.
My biggest concern is that the compressor will run constantly and not last very long.

Thanks
Matt

Mix up a spray bottle of some soapy water and go to town on all the lines, fittings, and the bags themselves. If and when you see bubbles you have your leak.

Yes, you should worry, you'll burn up your compressor.
Now ne specific, very exact, do both side drop equally, have you heard the air leaking, does it come from the back of the truck or from under the drivers seat area and how many miles on the truck?
