I believe I have a air leak in my air suspension is there a quick way of checking this. Something like fairy liquid on the joints

There is a guide for testing operation. When elevated it's worth checking the bottom of the shock body for rust and oil leaks, especially the area under the bladders.

Air leaks. A spray bottle with washing up liquid and water helps. Along with the mark 1 ear 'ole. :y

I have some old ones here that are too rusty to be useful but they do hold air. So could swap the bad one out and fit one of those just to confirm, if nothing obvious is found. :)

I think it was the drivers side rear that you said kept dropping when you where running it up and down your drive. I have two rear shocks I got from robsey.

Al if you remember the compressor stayed on for a long time.

Indeed it did...

Fit the shocks from Rob and then test it, then look for leaks if it's still playing silly buggers :y
