First and foremost the good news, the car holds pressure and doesn't creep down even after a few days. Now here's the issue, every-other time I start up the car, the front end (both sides) will all of a sudden lower and the rear seems to stay up.

What puzzles me is that when I push the button on the dash to raise the car, nothing happens.

I have a Star Das setup coming next week, and I've ordered fluid and the ABC filter.

What do you guys think is causing the issue? Also, why does it say "Airmatic" when it's an "ABC" setup???

since you dont have any leaks, i am guessing you have knocked a electrical sensor when you hit a pot hole.

Strange seeing an amg cluster say airmatic ... Most likely it needs to be reprogrammed to abc

With the SDS check the actual values of the ABC pump. Sometimes these warnings are for insufficient pressure, signs of a pump going bad. Can't tell any further without scanning it

Thanks guys. I inspected the level sensor as well as other components on the corner with the blow-out and everything checked out. I did an oil change tonight and left the pans off so I can inspect for leaks in the morning. By the way, here's a few more shots of my Airmatic.
