I actually found the problem...I had to wait for a nice warm day, but the issue was that the little plastic fitting on the drivers side height valve
split, but not enough to come totally apart. replaced the fittings with brass, and now it works... actually, even better than before...

In the photo, the split was at the arrow tip...

My '75 coach has the Power Level system, but I had a similar thing happen several years ago. It turned out to be an air line to the right side that
had melted right above the exhaust pipe. I fixed it and wrapped some insulation around it. Problem solved

This is well worth the effort and time. I replaced all of my plastic connections many years ago and fixed all of my leaks in the process.
