If you have the electro level 1 and consistently gain height, you have leaky
3 way valves. The valves pass air pressure through from the tank into the
air bags. A small piece of gunk in the sealing portion of the valve causes
this problem. You can try to take the valve apart and clean it, with a so-so
chance of success.
The thing is that you don't loose pressure that you can find with a leak
detector, you just slowly inflate the air bags. Its an internal leak. You
have several options:
1). Fix or replace the 3 way valves.
2). Put your EL switch in the hold position.

>Where did you get color coded air line?
I got mine at NAPA. They were reluctant to order it at my local store, so I
waited till I was in Fort Wayne and drove to the distribution center and
bought it there. They also have really nice fittings for the 1/4" line. You
might also check a truck/semi garage or dealer, large trucks have anti-lock
brakes that frequently use color coded lines.
Here's a thought: go to Radio Shack and get a pack of 6 colored electrical
tape. Put a wrap of the colored tape on the ends of the black tubing. You
can make it more permanent by putting a small ty-wrap around it to make sure
it doesn't come unwound.
Almost as good, very simple and inexpensive. Lowes Home improvement also has
colored electrical tape in larger rolls.
