W216 rear driver suspension lean

so my CL was in storage for the past 9 months..being started and warmed up every week or so. after getting it on the driveway this week i noticed the rear driver side is sitting slightly lower(i say only slightly because i dont believe it to be bottomed out, ive seen on older s500's the suspension dropped so low that a jack cant even fit underneath, thats definitely not the case here) than the other corners. when i raise the car it comes up some but still not as much as the others. its also not throwing me any codes or messages..im aware it could be a plethora of issues, but where should i start?

thanks
chris

Is it not throwing any OBD codes or no mercedes codes?
In other words: did you diagnose it with star/xentry?
There's a procedure in Star for calibrating an ABC strut:

Is the car parked on a completely level surface? The car will try and level the body relative to the ground so this can only really be checked if its on a level surface.

would it be possible for this problem to have corrected itself just from using it everyday? it doesnt appear to be leaning anymore. any feedback is appreciated

You can cycle the suspension from std to high with the button in the center of the dash and that will self bleed the system some. It should always be trying to reach its target level.
