SL600 Rear Suspension Sag

The rear suspension drops on my 2002 SL600 when it is parked for more than about a week. When the car starts, the suspension comes back to normal ride height. The suspension rises as normal in either of the two higher positions using the dash switch.

Is this a pretty good indicator that the hydraulic accumulators on the rear suspension are shot?

Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
Might want to bleed the system and replace the spheres
