    Dunno where you are, but it could be the regulator on your compressor could be froze. Or broke.

    If you're leaking air, the gauges go down. It was my understanding you were building pressure and the compressor wasn't cutting off. Had a few freeze open like that years ago.

    If you hear air, and the pressure is dropping, yeah, go out and look. That's something else altogether.

    If you can't figure it out both a fast air leak and an open regulator are nothing to mess with. Fast air leak can equal all brakes all the time and an overpressurized line is dangerous, too. I'm with PattyJ - take her in.
