That ain’t normal. You might have a leaky valve

That’s a hefty drop in pressure, partner

I’d say check the lines and valves for any air leaks

Sounds like you got a leaky valve or hose in the secondary system. Better get it fixed before you end up with no brakes at all. Or worse, a DOT inspection.

locate and fix the leak, if possible.

not drive a truck with a faulty air brake system, as it could cause an accident or a violation.

I would report the problem to my supervisor or mechanic and ask for another truck

Bottom of the tank.

Somewhere on the air tanks.

Yep. If it's local, holding enough air for normal operation, no real chance of a road side inspection, then send it for the customer and get it repaired immediately after.

Not everyone is going to agree, but personally I would deliver the load and then get it fixed.

Where is that located? In the engine bay?

+ Listen to where the leak is from. Could be just the purge valve.
