Are you sure that is the leveling system? Where exactly is it?
RE: Air leak in leveling system - David and Teresa - 01-23-2015
It's in the 3rd bay back, pilot side, the bay in front of the plumbing bay.
Heard, and felt the leak. A couple days later the coach is low, leaning toward the right.

all of the leveling solenoids are usually in 6packs front and rear.
do you know where the airlines run to from it? those look more like the solenoids that operate something that is air powered.

looks like dump valve solenoids

Could they feed the bathroom doors?

Looks like a dump solenoid to me also. Mine is in the same compartment as the AH. I had a leak there also about a year ago.

There is probably no carpet in the bay where the dump solenoids are more likely something else
Where exactly was it leaking at

It's like the solenoid has the valve open. Air is escaping from the filtered output.

With that solenoid leaking your 120 volt compressor is probably not able to keep up with the air consumption and may be shutting off from running hot. So if you have a slow leak, which many coaches have especially on cold mornings, then the suspension could drop.
Not sure what that solenoid controls but like others said it is not for the leveling system. If it is not something that is critical for day to day operation, then you could bypass the solenoid by plugging it off until you can replace the solenoid. Any hardware store could fix you up something to plug the tubing. Looks like 1/4" tubing? Just don't leave it bypassed.
