another Airmatic question

Why does the left front suspension remain at the correct height after sitting for 5, 10, 15 minutes or even overnight sometimes and sag down to where the tire almost touches the inner fender at other times. Sometimes when I park the car I can hear air leaking from the left front strut as I watch that corner go down and at other times there is no air leak sound and the left corner stays up all night long.

If the air bag had a leak you'd think it would always leak. This erratic behavior leads me to believe there's a computer issue or something similar.

Remove wheel. Use soapy water to find leak. It is either the bag or the valve block or the tubing.

air leak?

Why would it leak sometimes and not at all other times?
