Runs out of air? Oh dear! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diarrhoea

'runs' is the definition.
(diarrhoea is informally called 'the runs')

'out of air? oh dear' is the wordplay.
'out of' is an anagram indicator.
'air'+'oh'+'dear'='airohdear'
'airohdear' anagrammed gives 'DIARRHOEA'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
