It's almost guaranteed they're leaking at the fork seals (beneath the wiper seals exposed on fork). Pressurize the forks (Never exceed 20 psi as will blow out the seals for sure) and spray a soap and water solution around the wiper seals.

thanks everyone! ill try the soap test and see what happens. if they seem to be leaking, how big of a pain is replacing the seals?

There are quite a few threads here addressing the seal replacement, and a writeup in the Filebase section of KZRider.

DO NOT use a compressor or anything bigger than a small hand pump to pressurize the forks or shocks on a bike.

found my leak to be the schrader valve itself.
