Yep

Check that airline that connects the two shocks.

As for the pressure issue you should be using a zero loss pump for shocks. A regular pump will allow the air to bleed out and of course it never hurts to change your shrader

Are they on a common line right?
so if one leaks the other will too.
Go to marine hardware store and get a tube of 3 M 5200
comes in black or white.
Use it for a sealant around the brass Farrel and nuts.
Not much
.Let it set overnight as a minimum.
The plumbing will never leak again.
