Im having problems with my air suspension deflating. It does so evenly in the rear only. It does not deflat consistently. Sometimes the back end stays up and everything seems to be fine. There is a pinhole leak coming out of a line directly out of the compressor, but is vey small. Is it possibe this could be the problem? Any comments would be appreciated.

I had the same type problem. I went online and found replacement air ride bags for the rear (97 does not have front air ride) but was told that they have a life span of 5 years. I decided to replace the air ride system in the back with Strut Master shocks that are made to replace the air ride bags. It cost about the same but I never have to worry about replacing the air ride or the air compressor again.
