Hissing sound from Seat Flap (multicoutour seat option)

For those who have Multi-contour seats know that when you make a turn, one of the flaps push you so that you dont gravitate on the opposite site. Life was good until last week when the left flap started making a hissing sound every time I made a right turn.

It seems to me that there are micro-hydraulics working inside, and the air is released while they work in or out. I am totally making up the mechanics, but that leaves me with this sound all the time now. Nothing happens when I make a left turn.

Anybody experienced this? Any work around this, or just hit the Dealer?

Thanks.

Hit the dealer. Sounds like a leak.
