I have a 2007 Cummins ISX Volvo and when I'm parked just idling I noticed my air pressure drops down to about 90 95. lt'll build air as soon as I start driving and I hear the air dryer kick in but I'm not seeing or hearing in the air leaks at least while it's off I just changed the air dryer about 2 months ago where should I look.
Air issue, loosing air while parked.

air leveling valves can bleed thru the lever shaft. if you leave the trailer supply pushed in check the gladhand seals,they get cracked and flattened.

Fittings under the dash that goes in the splitter, fittings at the air tanks, fittings at the air bags is common in Volvos.

Do a audible airleak with truck off
Wheels chalked
Have someone help you so you can walk around truck
. have some water and soap mixed in bottle handy -
when I cut the truck off there's no audible leak. I spoke to a mechanic who said he just had that same problem and it was the air dryer cartage I just changed that air dryer 3 months ago would it need to be changed already. Also how can you tell when it's time to change the cartage

Air cartridge is typically a yearly maintenance item. Make it a point to drain your tanks a couple times a week and look for moisture in your hand when it sprays. Pay special attention to the type of moisture, does it smell like oil, water etc which depending can be an indication the seals on the compressor are starting to leak.
