Default Tire sealant in air suspension?

My 03 H2 has a slow and intermittent leak. Leaks mostly in colder weather or if I park on an uphill grade. Was wondering if anyone had tried sealing a slow leak like this with tire sealant? Is the fitting on the bag the same as a tire valve? Would it gum up the whole system?

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT . IF THE BAGS LEAK CHANGE THEM ,IT IS EASY AND CHEAP . Drive it till they are pumped up ,spray the bags down with soapy water ,and look for bubles to find a leak in the bags .

By the time you have removed the airbag to inject your tire sealant you might as well replace the entire airbag units -not to mention that the tire sealant probably won't work, as the airbags always flex a lot where they become porous. They are fairly cheap and not that difficult to replace. There is even a Video on Youtube which walks you through the necessary steps. Cheers, Indy.
