2006 4.2 SC Air suspension issues

Gentlemen,

My RR's suspension is dropping over a 4,5 day interval if the car is not used. It drops uniformly on all corners, therefore I don't thinks it's a valve issue. The compressor seems to be working fine and there are no faults in the dash or error codes when using the iCarsoft diagnose tool.
Would it be correct to assume the problem is the air reservoir not holding pressure? If so, how do I diagnose it?
Thank you all in advance.

Thank you, Oggy.

How does this system work, basically? The compressor pumps air into the reservoir, which then sends air to both valves, each with its two bags. What holds the pressure in the bags? I'm assuming the valves do.
If that's correct then the reservoir is not the issue.
Would you agree?

Thank you gents.
I'll order the valve oring kit and compressor repair kit to see if that solves the issue.
Will update asap.
