You should leave the car at the highest ride height (both dash lights on) when parked for extended periods. The car will probably drop if not started for a week or more (the manufacturer claims this is normal). As long as the car rises to normal height when started and put in drive, don't worry about it. If there's something your car will hit if it sinks, I would move it (or start it every 2-3 days). You should not lose any fluid when the car drops, if you do- you have a problem.

thank you very much i really apreciate your responses!
i will leave it parked in higher setting.
quick question now when i leave it parked for one day in the morning the right side of the car is lower by 2 cm (tape measured) in the front right and rear right. no abc lights did das and showed no faulty codes.
is this normal ? should i just ingnore it ? or it can affect something else in the long run.
my gueses are the sensor arm is bent.
suspension need to be recalibrated.
valve blocks (hopefully not)
tandem pump is new 3 months old.
no leaks.
it rides normal i think after i start using it it levels and handling is normal too, abc works fine up and down?

As long as the car drives/handles normal and there's no ABC warning lights on, I wouldn't worry about any of the inconsistencies- you'll drive yourself nuts. Just my opinion, FWIW.
