    Doesn’t sound like a leak more like a faulty governor or even the compressor it self.It’s been a long time I don’t remember exactly but there’s a needle on top of the one I had that will screw out and replace it that was on a cat I’m sure yours is different if it’s the governor you just replace it.

    Leak soap is still the best way to go

    check the lines coming out of the compressor

    The discharge hose from compressor to air tank tend to plug up over time.
    Make sure you use the right hose .

    I had the same problem with a 2019 Cascadia. Turned out to be a leaky air bag.
