This is how I troubleshot my system and fixed mine.

Read the ssp to understand how the system works.
Yellow means overinflated
Yellow and green = leaking under inflated
This is on top of my head, it's been a long time.
Cheers,
Louis

The bit in the last photo is just the nut that holds the line on, you don't have to swap that part! Just the brass piece you unscrewed from it. That piece you have taken off looks fairly corroded and old, I wouldn't be surprised if that is your issue. Keep in mind, if you lose air from the strut after reinstalling those pieces, use the soapy water test to make sure you have put it on tightly enough, that larger piece in particular is difficult to get on tight enough since it has nothing good to grab onto.

Okay, that means it is most likely the shock itself, assuming the soapy water test came back without any warning signs. Rear shocks on these rarely fail, so you may want to consider a used one, since new ones are very expensive. It still could be a valve block issue, any chance you can listen to the shock and hear air escaping? If it is totally bottomed out in less than 30 minutes, there is a decent chance you could hear the air escaping.

Sure, if I have to buy shock then will go for used one .
it went down in with in 5-10 minutes of me putting in jack mode. I didn’t stay there next time will stay and hear.
one thing I noticed when changing valve was , on problem side no yoblittle air in the reservoir
but on the good side it has condiderable amount of air and I released it gradually .
if that gives any clue

That is what I would expect comparing a shock that had lost it's air to one that was properly inflated, nothing unusual about it!
