W211 E500 4matic
Hello comrades. I own a w211 E500 4matic, year 2005. The car is in excellent condition, but I noticed recently that the air compressor works constantly, and when I apply the brakes or stop, it stops working even though the system works correctly and there is no air leakage, but when I stop the car after turning it off I hear the sound of air coming out of The upper side on the left front wheel, what is the solution to this problem or the expected malfunction?

Leak location
So a lot of the time the leak is actually at the pump itself. Lift the car up and check out the lines going to and from the compressor. I guarantee one of the lines is cracked.
they way the car was made the lines bend too much causing the rubber to crack.
I went to my local hardware store and got new lines to replace the damaged ones. Problem never came back.
good luck
