Leaking Gas Sounds from Multicontour Seats

My 2011 E550 is making leaking gas sounds out of the multi-contour seats when I make a turn. Also, there is slight air being blown on my left hand as if its coming from the the left vent. It didn't have this issue when I first got the car. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks.

I am definitely not experiencing this. When I make turns all it does is hug me.

Same thing happened to me with the left drive dynamic bolster, there was a leak in the thing that inflates in the side of the seat. I had it replaced under warranty.

Look for a loose air hose under the seat, had this with my E55.
