RP23 Air Pressure Loss

So the RP23 off my 2010 Mount Vision 5.9 seems to lose Air pressure overnight , i run around 175 - 180 Psi normally and recently between rides i noticed it was dropping to 50-75 psi (i only get a ride every 2 - 3 weeks at the moment 
) so assumed this was normal, however i decided to check next day after presurising to 180 and in the morning < 24 hours it was down to 70 psi again. So my question is anyone think this is a serious issue requiring a lot of money to fix by TF or Mojo? For info its just over a year old, 14 months, so i think out of warranty?
cheers Dan

what is the normal drop when you reattach the pump?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

can be absolutely anything. it depends on the pump etc..."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Ok
pressured to 100psi
removed pump/re-attached and lost 10psi
repressured to 100psi
remove pump/re-attached and lost about 8psi
repeated this 3 more times and all approx 7 - 10 psi
the pump is a FOX pump that came with my forks (fox float RL)

10% loss sounds about right when removing the pump.0

sounds like seals then."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

ok thanks for the info i will speak to Mojo/TF Tuned about a seal replacement
thanks for your inputs gents0 -
Seal kits are around £10 or just over on Ebay (proper Fox kits) and it's a really easy job to replace them.I don't do smileys.
