My Spesh Command Post has sprung a leak somewhere as it seems to be losing all it's air pressure overnight.

I've searched Google for some service instructions, which all seem to deal with the locking collet mechanism, but I can't find anything to help with the air spring. Turning the post upside down, I note that there's a circlip holding the bottom of the air valve in place, is this the usual entry point to the air spring?

Not seen the Command Post but I'm guessing it's got a Schrader valve in the bottom?

If it has have tried replacing the core first, before dismantling anything else. It might just be a slightly dodgy valve, I've had this on schraders before now.

Very good call there, I've had a couple of dodgy Schrader valve cores in the past that have leaked air from shocks and forks. I will give this a go and will see if it resolves the issue.
