Default Shotgun Shock losing air

For the past few month or so, my shotgun shock has been losing pressure while riding. I've noticed it drops when I am on longer rides (2 hours +), or when I am riding on bumpier roads. Yesterday I headed out with it all the way up. I rode about 20 minutes on a bumpy road and nearly all the pressure was gone. Any ideas what could be causing this?
