    My truck has leak somewhere. Itll build up pressure to 125psi and I'll shut it off. In the morning it will be 65-70psi.
    Any easy way I could find that leak? I dobt hear it even parked in my driveway where its real quiet.

    Make sure you roll the windows down in case the leak is behind the dash

    Personally I wouldn't worry about it. Its still holding air well within the limits established by the DOT.

    If it really bothers you, soapy water in a spray bottle.
