Ok I guess it is time to turn in my Guru card and possibly my man card :-(
I started the coach and let it idle in travel mode. The passenger side raised fine, and the drivers side rear only raised a bit, seemed like more on the tag and less on the driver axle if that is possible. I shut off the engine, and crawled between the drivers side rear wheels. Definitely could hear an air leak. I sprayed soapy water on the bag and some lines within reach until the coach started creaking and out of under I came... I know theoretically that the coach was already down as far as it could go at least on that side, but for me it is quite intimidating under there. Thus, I think I have to turn in my Guru card and call in the professionals.
I forgot to mention. When idling waiting for the coach to raise, I noticed that the supply would raise to 130, then I would hear a release of air like you do with the air brakes, the supply would then drop to 110, then gain back to 130, and repeat. After 2 times, I stopped the engine near 130, hoping to maximize the air pressure while hunting for the leak. I don't remember this before, is that normal?
Thanks for everyone's help.
