ABC acting up again
I've recently noticed a small ABC leak around the front driver's side, but the fluid level was not low. I decided to cycle the ABC and to my surprise the front left shock will not lower on command, but the rest of the shocks did. After a few cycles I shut off the car and checked the fluid level. It was low, so I added more fluid.
I then proceeded to cycle the ABC a few more times, and the other shocks stopped responding also, and the vehicle stayed up. The strange thing is, as soon as I would shut the car, the car would lower to the correct position.
Fortunately I've not had an issues with the car dropping, even after a week (knock on wood).
FWIW, the front left shock has been squeaking since I bought the car.
