Have you followed the air lines to the otherside not taking air?

Yep
Check that airline that connects the two shocks.
As for the pressure issue you should be using a zero loss pump for shocks. A regular pump will allow the air to bleed out and of course it never hurts to change your shrader

Are they on a common line right?
so if one leaks the other will too.
Go to marine hardware store and get a tube of 3 M 5200
comes in black or white.
Use it for a sealant around the brass Farrel and nuts.
Not much
.Let it set overnight as a minimum.
The plumbing will never leak again.

The best cure for this problem is to remove said air shocks and promptly throw them in the nearest dumpster.

Agree with gunrunner, dump the air and go with coil overs. Vast improvement.
