Question Multicontour seat hissing sound!!!

Today took the car out for a spin after being parked for nearly 2 months and noticed a hissing sound coming from the driver's side seat.
At first didnt bother me as the hissing stopped after a few seconds, however when I fiddled with the multicontour control valves nothing happened!!!
The air cushions were not being filled with air so I pulled over and turned the ignition off and on, again heard the hissing sound, controls did work a couple of times but stopped responding again!!!
Im not driving this car a lot, had it for 1 year and only driven 8k km.
Will take it in on Monday for a closer look, dont know if the warranty covers this sort of thing.

Any idea what might be causing this

You heard of snakes on a plane. This could be snakes in a car.

* broken seat bladder
* broken regulator
* broken join from floor to seat

I doubt it, the only snake gets in and out the car with me
btw, I checked again and the problem appears to be only on the driver's seat, the passenger side is functioning without a problem.

Would like to give those a try, dont think the missus will be happy though.
