Most leaks are small enough that there is time to easily get to a safe place to fix them and if they are large enough that the compressor runs continuously we will probably easily locate them by listening. While on the road the critical question is: how long do I have before I need to get to that safe place. I plan to take the first available safe place since I don't feel smart enough to predict if the leak will suddenly get a lot worse and create a road worthiness problem. Once in that safe working space, if I can fix the problem, fine. If not, then what workarounds are there that will allow me to move to a better location. The difference depends on the nature of the failure and of my knowledge of the air systems, tools I'm carrying and the availability of needed parts.
