'06 CLS 500
Airmatic suspension (rear) drops while unused?
My '06 CLS 500 (w/ ~90k miles) is used sparingly and has been sitting for a couple months with the occasional drive around the block every other weekend. When I check the car on the weekends i see both the rear shocks are dropped (evenly), I just turn the car back on and the height is readjusted back to normal and it's good for another short period of time.

Is it common for the rear to drop when the car sits unused after several days or is it likely a slow leak on both rear shocks/suspension?

Airmatic suspension
What is the most economical fix for the airbag on the rear suspension when it drops and fails to hold air?
