RockShox Tora SL not holding pressure?

Hi All,
I purchased a shiny new Scott Scale 60 last year (2010) and immediately found that the forks (RockShox Tora SL's) wouldn't hold any air. Took the bike back, forks were repaired and seemed fine.
Bike has been in storage and not ridden for a good few months now and I've come to dust it off and enjoy the sunshine and the forks are no longer holding any air again. I pump them up to a good pressure, around 110psi and they initially seem fine but I check them 24h later and they're completely flat.
Spoke to the bike shop who have said they will need to speak to their distributor as it's almost been a year since I purchased. So, whist they're away checking I wanted to get a view on what might be causing the problem. A few questions:
Do air forks generally suffer from problems like this?
Any thoughts on likely cause?
Likelihood of this being a bad pair of forks and I should simply push for total replacement rather than repair?
Ease of self diagnosis/repair?
Appreicate any thoughts on this. I'm not a newbie although I've been out of MTBing for a number of years so the technology has moved on somewhat!
Thanks,
Mark
