I looked in to my system loosing pressure again last night. Before I was looking at all the hoses for a leak around every fitting.
There was a leak around where the fittings bolt up to the shocks themselves. I hosed down all the fitting housings with soapy water and sure enough that's where I found my problem.
The downside is that leak was enough to let water in so I had to clean out the piston a bit along with the O-ring. The O-ring was still in good shape. I gave everything a coat of grease (O-ring track on the fitting, popped the O-ring on, greased that, put some grease on the inside shock track, as well as the gasket). It took two attempts to get the O-ring to seat properly inside but I got it.
I will post back with how it holds up. I hosed everything with soapy water again after the fix and no bubbles anywhere. We'll see if I did any good.

Steve, it's been about a year and a half now since you promised you would post back with how your myRide system is holding up. Well, how's it holding up?
