Arnott Airmatic issue

Hello,

I replaced my front left air strut about Three years ago with an Arnott one. The rest of my shocks are OEM and have given me no problems. Lately the front left Arnott shock keeps droping down overnight, while driving or parked for just a few minutes with the red warning "car too low". sometimes it stays up just fine and doesn't lose any height overnight. It seems like a control problem more than a blown seal. Any thought?

Here is a little more info incase anyone has any ideas. The Arnott air shock seems fine and is not leaking any air. It seems to be a control issue at just the left front. It seems to randomly want to let the air out of the left front. this morning the car was sitting fine. I backed out of the garage and parked on the driveway which has a slope to it. When I turned off the car, it was fine for a second then you could hear the system left the air out of the front left shock. The air escaped near the pump which is also in the left front behind the bumper. Anyone have a random issue like this?
