So I had the dreaded air bag leak in my right front a couple weeks ago. Had the Mercedes shop replace it. Today when the wife got home and let the car sit for a bit the entire front in sits down almost on the tires. I can hear a leak in the airbag on the left side, but what would cause both sides to now sag? The right side is a brand new shock.

If one side goes all the way down it will drag the other side too. Look carefully- the leaking side is actually lower than the "good" side

It is much lower on the left side. When the right one went, it didn't lower the entire front end. I think this leak must be a lot worse than when the right side went. Like I say, you can actually hear the air leaking out of this one.

It is possible your compressor is on its way out. A leak generally forces the compressor to work overtime and can significantly shorten its life.... a competent tech can perform compressor test and determine if it is the culprit. If the compressor is weak it might not be able to prop the good side enough to compensate for the leaky left side. Rear air bags need also be checked as they can amplify the lean if one is leaking slowly.
