Typically, your air gauges are monitoring pressure in your main (drive axle) and secondary (front/tag axle) air tanks. If your tanks are reading the same and your air bags seem to be losing height at the same rate, I would think the leak is upstream of the tanks. I had an issue where the brake protection valve was leaking on my front tank which was had a symptom like leaky airbags.
The best suggestion I could offer is get it aired up and block the frame so you can get under it safely. Once under the coach start spraying all fittings with soapy water and see where the leak(s) are. I had an issue where the brake protection valve was leaking on one of my front tanks which was had a symptom like leaky airbags. I could have spent a lot of time and money trying to fix that through different troubleshooting methods, but the old soapy water trick revealed the problem quickly. Good luck!
