Nitrogen is far more likely to leak than air. Nitrogen molecules are considerably smaller than oxygen and Co2, and can leak through far smaller openings than air. A good example is if you put nitrogen tanks on a standard Co2 dispenser for soda or beer, the tank will run dry in less than a day. Standard seals that contain Co2, can't contain nitrogen.
