Philip,
The first place to look is the main air valve. It could be there or the line coming off the tank. That line - I believe - is one piece from the tank to the main air valve.
The valve itself is ordinary steel but the valve seat is aluminum. A natural for rusted up valve or corrosion on the seat.

Hi Phil, Gary in LAS here, My CJ for the first seveal years I owned it, setting with the air valve turned off, would loose no air down stream of the air valve setting for weeks, then a couple of years ago it started loosing air pressure on the gauge when it sat with the air valve turned off, the gauge would read zero, I found out that the leak was because the Nose Gear Retract Cyl. Seals were slowly leaking the air while the acft sat for a number of days. Have since overhauled all the retract Cyls. and it can sit for weeks now and no lose of pressure on the air gauge... this may not be your problem, just a heads up on the retract cyl. seals....Gary Gabbard N22YK
