"Everything is new" can you go into more detail? I can tell you 9 times out of 10 it will be the air spring leaking or the line connection. Here is a warning:
Caution: Do not exceed the torque value on the air supply fitting, over tightening may cause the plastic threads in the air compressor or the air spring to become stripped, permanently damaging the air spring compressor or air spring.
To be sure I use a water bottle with a soap solution to check for leak by watching for bubbles while the system is trying to work. You may need the car on a lift. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
