Air Suspension Fault/Suspected Leak
I had an air suspension fault pop up while driving last week. It had the image of the car with the up arrow in the middle and "VISIT WORKSHOP" text. Some drives it comes on, some drives it doesn't, which made me wonder.
Today when I started the car to drive home, I had a red "STOP VEHICLE CAR TOO LOW" warning pop up. After about 30 seconds, it went away, and I drove home without issue.
This has me suspecting there's a leak somewhere. I've sprayed soapy water around the front shock tops (which I'm told are a common leak point) and then also around the bottom of the air spring portion, and I've not seen any indications of a leak. Where else should I be checking for leaks? Or are there other system components I should be checking?
