Slide bladder air leak

I have a leak in my slide bladder system. I turned off the valves which control air to the two bladders and the leak stopped, e.g. the auxiliary compressor doesn't run every 15 minutes now. The bladders on both slides remain inflated, so I know the leak is somewhere in the air regulation system. I think this system is pretty simple, but what now? How does one troubleshoot this system? Any ideas appreciated. Royce

I had a leak to one of my slide bladders.  Ended up it was a hole in the tube ( 1/4" air line) from the control valves to the bladder.  1st you have to figure out which slide has the leak  I did this by turning them on one at a time and watched the gage to figure out which one (slide) was causing a problem.  Then to determine if it was the bladder or the air line to it, unplug the tube at the bladder and  cap that off.  If it still leaks it is the tube.  If not probably the bladder.
