e500 rear shock releases air intermittently

hi guys, im pretty familiar with how the airmatic works.

the rear of my 2003 e500 will sag if left for a week.

now today for some reason when i shut the car off get out and close the door, after a few seconds the right rear shock will release the air(it makes a hissing noise, thats how i know)

could this be a problem with the leveling sensor or valve/solenoid at that right rear airbag?

would like to hear some ideas so i know where to start looking.

also can i access the air strut to spray with soapy water without jacking the car up?



thanks guys i appreciate the help!
