Fox 38’s losing pressure

[N9VNS]

My bike is only 3 months old and my lbs who I bought it from has said drop it over and they’ll send the forks off but it’ll be a few weeks turn around so don’t really want to be without the bike for a few weeks.
I went for a ride a few weeks ago after not being out for 2 weeks and I noticed the front suspension didn’t feel right, and when pulling the front wheel up the suspension sounded horrible. So checked the pressure when I got home and it was at 20psi. Topped it back up to what I usually run it at, went out for a ride and all was well. Few days later and exactly the same thing happened and again last night it done the same thing. Its losing pressure when sat in the garage and I’m assuming when riding too.

Anyone have any ideas what to check? Rather try and sort it myself rather than having to wait a few weeks and be without the bike.

Try replacing the schrader valve in the fork leg. Might be leaking.

This, but let the air out first!
