Thumbs down Front end is down!

My wife's 2007 GL450 with 75k miles has been sitting in garage for about 7 days. I noticed that the front of the car came down and and appears to be significantly lower than usual. I am a bit puzzled to see it happening to both sides. If it were just on one side, the verdict would be relatively straight forward -- a leaky strut. But what could it be if two sides over the same axle go down? Two leaky struts? Or is this something else?

Would appreciate any insight and advise.

Thank you!

Not too surprising that, after 7 days you see the results of a very slow leak - and there must be someplace in the air circuit that can cause both front air springs to lose pressure. Now, if the car refuses to pump back to normal quickly or, in the future drops the front quickly, then there is a problem.
